1952 Map of Kwiguk C-2

About this map

The Andreafsky River winds through this subarctic interior, defining the drainage patterns of the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Mapped in the early 1950s by the Army Map Service, the landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses and elevation contours that reveal the intricate drainage basin of the Pastolik River in the northwest. In the southwest, Allen Creek cuts through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic connection between the higher elevations and the lower river valleys. The lack of named settlements or roads during this era underscores the undeveloped nature of the region, focusing instead on the natural topography and the essential waterways used for navigation and subsistence in this part of Alaska.
