2020 Map of Kwiguk B-6 SW

About this map

The Black River meanders through the western reaches of this landscape, carving a complex network of channels and sloughs across the Kusilvak Census Area. This 2020 study by the U.S. Geological Survey details an intricate aquatic environment dominated by the winding path of Anakshek Pass in the southern sections. The map reveals the shifting hydrology of the Yukon Delta region, where the lack of permanent human settlements or infrastructure emphasizes the raw, natural movement of these waterways. The survey provides critical data on township boundaries, such as t26n r85w and t25n r84w, which define the administrative grid over this remote coastal plain. Researchers and geographers can study the seasonal variation of the wetlands and the intersection of various river branches that define the local drainage patterns.
