1952 Map of Kwiguk C-1

About this map

Andreafsky River and its major tributary, the East Fork Andreafsky River, dominate this Alaskan landscape within the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge. The map reflects a mid-century period of federal conservation and mapping, based on 1951 aerial photography and 1952 field annotations. The terrain is defined by complex contouring and prominent landmarks like North Peak, illustrating the untouched wilderness character of the region. The boundary of the Andreafsky Wilderness is clearly delineated, marking a territory where the natural hydrography of the river system remains the primary feature. This study serves as a baseline for understanding the protected lands of the Yukon Delta before later environmental shifts and administrative revisions.
