1952 Map of Kwiguk D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The labyrinthine distributaries of the Yukon Delta meet Norton Sound in this mid-century survey. The settlement of Emmonak is situated along the Emmonak Slough, accompanied by a nearby Landing Strip that indicates the critical role of bush aviation in this roadless region. To the south, the former location of Kwiguk (Site) is noted near the mouth of the massive Kwiguk Pass. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of tidal channels and islands, including Kawokhawik Island and Kangokakli, separated by smaller waterways like Akanuklinuk Slough and Elukozuk Slough. This environment, characterized by shifting silt and mud flats along the Bering Sea, reflects the dynamic nature of the delta before later twentieth-century developments altered the local geography.
