1952 Map of Saint Michael A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Pastolik River and the Pastoliak River converge near the southern shores of Pastol Bay, carving a complex network of waterways through the low-lying coastal tundra. This 1952 topographic survey, based on aerial photography from the early 1950s, documents a landscape defined by seasonal movement and maritime navigation. The presence of the Winter Trail stretching across the eastern reach suggests the vital overland routes used when the water froze, while the Pastolik River Lights and Pastol Bay Light indicate the importance of this delta for vessels navigating toward the Apoon Mouth. The site of Chaniliut sits near the junction of Apoon Pass and Kulmogon Slough, marking a historical point of human activity within this intricate system of sloughs and passes. Inland, Hogback Hill provides a rare point of elevation above the surrounding marshes and Nekutahalik Creek.
