1952 Map of Marshall C-6

About this map

Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge dominates this subarctic landscape, where a dense network of sloughs and unnamed ponds defines the terrain. The hydrological complexity is characterized by the winding courses of the Nungatak River and the Manokinak River, which meander through the marshy lowlands typical of this deltaic environment. Based on 1950s aerial photography, the map reveals a wilderness largely devoid of permanent human infrastructure or roads, prioritizing the natural drainage patterns and topographical contours of the region. Kgun Lake sits as a prominent landmark in the southeast, surrounded by the intricate water-and-land interface that makes this portion of Alaska so distinctive for wildlife and water resource study.
