1954 Map of Marshall B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Izaviknek River meanders across this mid-century Alaskan landscape, defining the hydrological character of the vast Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of marshes and unnamed ponds, typical of the delta's low-lying alluvial plains where water and land are in constant flux. To the south, Kuka Creek cuts through the wetlands, providing further drainage for this complex ecosystem. Mapped primarily through photogrammetric methods from aerial photographs taken in the early 1950s, the survey documents a wilderness area largely devoid of permanent human structures or infrastructure. This absence of roads or settlements emphasizes the protected and primitive nature of the refuge during this era, serving as a baseline for environmental historians and researchers studying the shifting watercourses and wilderness boundaries of the Bethel region.
