About this map

Kipnualak River meanders across this alluvial landscape in the Kusilvak Census Area, illustrating the complex hydrography of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of narrow channels and seasonal wetlands, where the Black River and the Kashunuk River establish primary drainage routes. This 2020 survey captures the natural state of the tundra, showing the high density of small lakes and ponds that characterize the region. The absence of road infrastructure or permanent settlements within these townships emphasizes the remote, water-dominated geography of western Alaska, where these waterways serve as the fundamental corridors for movement through the wilderness.
