1952 Map of Unalakleet

About this map

Unalakleet serves as the focal point on the eastern shore of Norton Sound, marking a vital intersection between the Bering Sea and the interior. This mid-century survey documents the transition from coastal waters to the inland reaches of the Unalakleet Mountains and the Blackburn Hills. The landscape is defined by the massive drainage systems of the Yukon River and the Anvik River, where a network of sloughs like Honeymoon Slough and islands such as Bullfrog Island and Alice Island illustrate the shifting nature of the delta environment.
