Aguyaq

Aguyaq lies near Kvichak Bay, the northeastern arm of Bristol Bay, where sockeye salmon return to the Kvichak River. To the west, Nushagak Bay opens onto the same waters; the Yup'ik settlement of Ekuk stood on its eastern shore. In 1818 employees of the Russian-American Company established the Aleksandrovski trading post farther up Nushagak Bay, near the mouth of the Nushagak River.
