1952 Map of Kwiguk B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Ponglevik River and Anakshek Pass dominate the southern portion of this 1952 topographic study, revealing a complex web of waterways across the Kusilvak region. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of marshes and unnamed ponds, with drainage primarily facilitated by meandering channels like Igokluk Slough and the eastern Pektotolik Slough. Grounded in data from aerial photographs taken just after the war, the map provides precise elevation markers at several survey points, including VABM Berry 49 and VABM Last 83. A significant geographic landmark, Ungulungwak Hill, rises above the surrounding wetlands, serving as a primary triangulation station for the Army Map Service. This survey preserves the exact coastal hydrology and native nomenclature of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta area before modern shifts in the landscape.
