1954 Map of Taylor Mountains

About this map

The Kuskokwim River and the Nushagak River define the massive drainage systems of this Southwestern Alaska interior, where the Kuskokwim Mountains and Nushagak Hills meet. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of braided waterways and significant glacial lakes, including the sprawling Lake Chauekuktuli and Chikuminuk Lake. This area represents a critical watershed where the Holitna River and Hoholitna River flow north toward the Kuskokwim, while the Mulchatna River and Tikchik River drain south toward Bristol Bay.
