1952 Map of Russian Mission D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Paimiut sits at the northern edge of this 1950s survey, representing a concentrated point of human presence within an intricate network of waterways and wetlands. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Paimiut Slough, which meanders through a vast expanse of lakes and marshland characteristic of this region. Mapping by the Geological Survey reveals a complex drainage pattern where land and water are constantly intertwined. The lack of roads or established trails throughout the quadrangle highlights the reliance on these natural water corridors for movement and subsistence. This era of mapping, based on 1951-1952 aerial photography, documents the untouched topography before significant modern changes, preserving the original land lines predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management.
