About this map

The Yukon Delta branches into a complex network of waterways as it approaches the Bering Sea, defining a landscape where travel is dictated by the seasons. The Yukon River and the Kwikpak River serve as the primary arteries, connected by numerous sloughs and passes like the Kwikpak Pass and Apoon Pass. This 1952 edition illustrates the distribution of seasonal and permanent habitations along these banks, from established settlements like Hamilton and Mountain Village to family-named landmarks such as Bill Moores and Patays Cabin. The presence of a Winter Trail stretching north toward Nunachik highlights the reliance on frozen routes for inland transit during the Alaskan winter. To the east, the terrain rises toward the Andreafsky Hills and Andreafsky Mountain, providing a stark contrast to the low-lying wetlands of the delta. This map serves as a detailed record of remote outposts like Akulurak P O and New Fort Hamilton during the mid-20th century.
