1952 Map of Kwiguk D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The labyrinthine delta of the lower Yukon River meets the Bering Sea in this mid-century topographic record, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of tidal passes and sloughs. Small Cabins and the settlement of Kwiguk are the primary signs of human habitation along the massive Kwiguk Pass. The terrain is dominated by water and shifting silt, featuring vast areas of Mud along the coast and named landforms like Kawokhawik Island. Waterways such as Bugomowik Pass and Akanuklinuk Slough illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the tundra. Surveyors established local control points at VABM Bull and Bugom VABM to navigate this saturated environment, which relied heavily on seasonal water transport through channels like Kawokhawik Pass and the winding Elukomuk Slough.
