Upper Kalskag, AK

Upper Kalskag is a small city in Alaska's Bethel Census Area, about thirty miles west of Aniak. Locals often call it Upper, and it is linked to Lower Kalskag by a maintained gravel and dirt road of about two miles. The community is otherwise remote, with small-plane access and western Alaska travel realities shaping everyday life. Upper Kalskag is small and practical, with its strongest context coming from the Kuskokwim region, nearby Lower Kalskag, and the demands of distance.
