1953 Map of Marshall B-8

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Clarence Rhode National Wildlife Range Area No 1 dominates this landscape, showing the vast and intricate wetlands of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta as they were surveyed in the early 1950s. This territory is defined by an incredibly dense network of ponds, lakes, and marshes, illustrating a classic subarctic tundra environment where land and water are constantly intertwined. The Kashunuk River meanders across the northern portion of the quadrangle, while the Manokinak River and Azun River carve winding paths through the southern reaches. An Indefinite Boundary runs through the central region, reflecting the challenges of precise mapping in such a dynamic, water-heavy terrain. Based on aerial photography by the Army Map Service, this survey captures the raw geography of the delta before modern environmental shifts, serving as a primary record of the region's complex hydrology and protected wilderness areas.
