1952 Map of Marshall C-7

About this map

Kashunuk River meanders across this northern section of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, defining a landscape of complex water systems and marshes as documented in the early 1950s. The terrain is characterized by an intricate network of unnamed ponds and smaller channels, including the curious Wrong Creek and the meandering Nungatak. These features reflect the shifting hydrology of the region before significant modern changes. To the south, the expansive Nuigalak Lake dominates the horizon, serving as a primary landmark in a region where land and water are constantly intertwined. This survey, compiled by the Army Map Service, utilizes photogrammetric methods from aerial photography to record the state of this remote Alaskan wilderness during a period of expanding scientific mapping in the territory.
