1952 Map of Kwiguk B-6

About this map

Kwemeluk Pass and Kanelik Pass dominate this 1950s hydrographic landscape, where a dense network of sloughs and interconnected waterways defines the coastal tundra of western Alaska. The small settlement of Eleutak sits along the northern edge of the sheet, serving as a primary human landmark in a region characterized by shifting waters and seasonal migration routes. The presence of the Winter Trail (Approximate) cutting through the landscape highlights the critical importance of overland travel during the frozen months when the intricate river systems become solid thoroughfares.
