1952 Map of Marshall D-3

About this map

The Pilot Station settlement overlooks a massive bend in the Yukon River, serving as a focal point for navigation in this intricate landscape of shifting channels and low-lying islands. Based on 1951 aerial photography, the map illustrates the complex hydrology of the region, where the Chuilnak River feeds into the main Yukon flow while Hills Slough and Kashunuk Slough carve secondary paths through the delta. Large features like Hills Island and East Point anchor the river's course, surrounded by vast networks of seasonal waterways and tundra ponds.
