1953 Map of Marshall A-5

About this map

Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge dominates this mid-century landscape, capturing a vast expanse of the Alaskan tundra as it appeared during 1953 field annotations. The environment is characterized by an intricate network of wetlands, small ponds, and the prominent Aropuk Lake, which spans the northern half of the sheet. The hydrological character of the region is further defined by the Izaviknek waterway in the northeast. This 1953 survey, derived from aerial photography taken by the Defense Mapping Agency in the early 1950s, provides a record of the delta’s shifting surface before modern ecological changes, showing a landscape devoid of permanent roads or established settlements.
