1952 Map of Kwiguk D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Apoon Pass and the winding Kwikpak Pass dominate this landscape, defining a complex network of waterways in the Yukon Delta. Small outposts and settlements like Hamilton and Naguchik appear along the riverbanks, representing the human footprint in this watery expanse of southwestern Alaska during the early 1950s. The presence of a Winter Trail (Approximate) and a simple Cabin near the confluence of Nunachik Pass suggests the seasonal nature of travel and subsistence in the region. Further north, Bill Moores marks a specific point of habitation near the intersection of several sloughs. The topography is characterized by endless small ponds and marshes, where features like Etokek Slough and Little Kotlik River weave through the low-lying silt and tundra. This survey documents the shifting channels and isolated river landings before modern infrastructure reached this part of the coast.
