2020 Map of Kwiguk B-5 NW

About this map

Igokluk Slough winds through this low-lying landscape in the Kusilvak Census Area, defining the drainage patterns of a region characterized by intricate wetlands and small ponds. The 2020 U.S. Geological Survey data illustrates the complex hydrography typical of the Yukon Delta, where subtle elevation changes dictate the flow of water across the tundra. Because the terrain is so heavily dominated by water and seasonal change, the map highlights the lack of established roads, focusing instead on the natural survey boundaries and the persistent path of the slough as it cuts through the landscape. This sheet provides researchers with a detailed look at the shifting boundaries between land and water in a part of Alaska where the environment remains the primary architect of the geography.
