1953 Map of Marshall B-8

About this map

The Clarence Rhode National Wildlife Range Area No 1 dominates this mid-century survey of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region. This landscape is a complex labyrinth of tundra and water, defined by the winding paths of the Kashunuk River and the Clarence Rhode River. Photogrammetric methods from the early 1950s reveal an intricate network of countless unnamed ponds and sloughs that surround the Manokinak River and Azun River. An Indefinite Boundary cuts across the center of the sheet, highlighting the unsurveyed and unmarked nature of the land lines predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management during this era. The map serves as a primary record of this coastal Alaskan wetland before modern shifts in hydrology and climate further altered the delta's face.
