1952 Map of Kwiguk C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Yukon River (Kwikluak Pass) dominates this subarctic landscape, where a intricate network of sloughs and passes creates a shifting delta environment in western Alaska. Small settlements and camps such as Akumauk, Lamont, and Tukukapak are scattered across the marshy terrain, connected primarily by the river and a Winter Trail that cuts across the frozen wetlands during the colder months. The map reveals the critical importance of water-based travel in the early 1950s, noted by the presence of a Seaplane Anchorage near the wide waters of Sunshine Bay. This area, surveyed during the post-war era of Alaskan mapping, shows a transition between major river channels like Akulurak Pass and narrower waterways like Kwimlilthla Slough, reflecting the seasonal movement and subsistence patterns of the region's inhabitants.
