1952 Map of Saint Michael A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Norton Sound defines the northern edge of this coastal landscape, where the Yukon Delta's complex network of waterways meets the sea. This early 1950s survey illustrates a shifting hydrological environment dominated by major channels like Kwikpak Pass and Kawanak Pass. The interior is a maze of interconnected drainage systems, including Mahikpak Slough and Okshokwewhik Slough, which cut through the low-lying wetlands. Human presence is minimal and temporary, indicated only by scattered Cabins and surveying landmarks such as VABM Muktuk. The map captures the delta before more modern navigational or infrastructure changes, showing the natural state of features like Sea Gull Point and the vast tidal flats near Mud. This record is essential for understanding the historical geomorphology of the region and the early placement of seasonal shelters in the Alaskan wilderness.
