2020 Map of Marshall C-6 SW

About this map

Manokinak River winds through the northern reaches of this tundra landscape in the Kusilvak Census Area. The terrain is characterized by an extensive network of unnamed wetlands, ponds, and small lakes that dominate the geography of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. This 2020 study highlights the intricate hydrology of the region, where shifting water bodies and saturated soils shape the land between the major river systems. Beyond the prominent river channel, the map is defined by the rectangular grid of the Public Land Survey System, including boundaries for t18n r82w and t17n r83w, providing a precise spatial reference for this remote coastal plain. The absence of roads or named settlements underscores the wilderness character of this part of Alaska, where the natural water drainage patterns are the primary features of interest for researchers and environmental historians.
