About this map

The Kuskokwim River carves a massive path through this Alaskan interior landscape, serving as the primary corridor for movement and settlement during the mid-20th century. At the bend near Gibralter Point, the Holokuk River joins the main flow, creating a complex wetland environment marked by seasonal swamps. Cultural history is concentrated at Little Mountain Village (Site), which includes the Little Mountain Cem, reflecting the area's indigenous and historical occupation patterns. To the north, the terrain rises sharply into the Horn Mountains and Whitewing Valley, while to the west, the curiously named New York settlement sits near the headwaters of Murray Gulch. This survey captures the remote geography before major modern development, focusing on the drainage systems of Sue Creek, Bear Creek, and Veahna Creek.
