1956 Map of Arctic

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Arctic Village and the surrounding Venetie Indian Reservation anchor this mid-century survey of the northern interior. The map illustrates a high-latitude landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Canning River and the Sagavanirktok River, where early aviation and traditional routes meet at landmarks like Carter Pass. Small outposts such as John Franks Cabins and several unnamed cabins suggest the seasonal trapping and hunting patterns of the Gwich'in people and early explorers during the 1950s.
