2020 Map of Kwiguk D-5 NW

About this map

Kwikpak Pass dominates the northeastern corner of this remote delta landscape, serving as a primary waterway within the complex hydrologic network of the Kusilvak region. The terrain is defined by a dense web of wetlands and minor watercourses, including the winding Kwikpakak Slough, which meanders through the central and eastern sections of the quadrangle. This 2020 survey illustrates the dynamic nature of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, where shifting channels and vast marshlands dictate the geography of the area. The map is largely structured by the Public Land Survey System, showing township boundaries like t33n r80w and t34n r79w across an otherwise unpopulated wilderness. For researchers of Alaskan geography, it provides a precise modern record of the hydrography before further seasonal or climate-driven changes alter these sensitive alluvial paths.
