1952 Map of St Michael

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

St Michael Island and the rugged coastal reaches of Norton Sound define this mid-century survey of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta's northern margin. The map traces the intricate water network where the Kawanak Pass and Apoon Pass meet the Bering Sea, revealing the vital importance of river navigation to early Alaskan settlements. Small coastal communities such as St Michael, Stebbins, and Kotlik serve as focal points for the region’s transport, connected by the overland St Michael Trail and seasonal Winter Trail routes. Grounded in 1952 fieldwork, the topography highlights significant volcanic features like Crater Mtn and St Michael Mtn, which rise above the marshy delta. Notable for its hydrographic detail, the sheet documents several native settlements such as Nokogamiut and Pikmiktalik along the winding courses of the Pikmiktalik River and Kogok River.
