1952 Map of Marshall D-8

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Kashunuk River and Black River dominate this hydrologically complex landscape in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region. Collected during the early 1950s using aerial photography, this survey records an intricate maze of thaw lakes, meandering sloughs, and marshy tundra where water and land are nearly indistinguishable. In the northeast corner, the Ulokat Hills provide the only significant topographic relief, rising above the low-lying plains. The Kun River snakes through the central and western portions of the sheet, illustrating the volatile nature of these Arctic waterways. A specific point of interest is Utukakarvik, a named location along a bend in the Black River that provides a rare geographic anchor in an otherwise uninhabited stretch of wilderness. The map is a meticulous study of subarctic drainage patterns before modern environmental changes altered these sensitive coastal ecosystems.
