1953 Map of Marshall B-6

About this map

The Ingakslugwat Hills rise as a series of isolated topographical breaks across a landscape defined by an intricate network of lakes and marshes in western Alaska. This 1953 survey, field annotated during the mid-century period, captures the region's wilderness character within the southern portion of the Clarence Rhode National Wildlife Range Area No 1. The map reveals an environment dominated by water, where an Indefinite Boundary reflects the shifting nature of this tundra landscape. The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the role of the area as a protected habitat, mapped through photogrammetric methods from 1951 aerial photography. It serves as a record of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region before modern administrative changes reshaped the management of these coastal wetlands.
