The massive braid of the Yukon River dominates this section of the delta in the Kusilvak Census Area. This 2020 survey illustrates the dynamic hydrology of the region, where the primary river channel splits and converges alongside secondary waterways like Kwikpak Pass. The map reveals a labyrinthine landscape of wetlands and shifting sediment, where land and water merge into a complex system of islands and inlets. To the west, the Pektotolik Slough meanders through the low-lying terrain, highlighting the intricate drainage patterns characteristic of this remote Alaskan environment. This topographical study captures the physical state of the Yukon Delta before further natural shifts alter these critical waterways and their surrounding habitats.
