2020 Map of Saint Michael A-5 SE

About this map

Mahtkwingak Slough and Dunukchavuk Slough define this low-lying coastal landscape in the Kusilvak Census Area. This 2020 survey illustrates a complex hydrological network of tidal channels and wetland basins characteristic of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The central waterway, Okshokwewhik Pass, serves as a primary artery through the marshy terrain, which is largely devoid of permanent human structures or roads. The map highlights the shifting nature of these western Alaska waterways, where seasonal changes and sedimentation constantly reshape the navigable channels used for subsistence and local travel.
