1956 Map of Beaver A-3

About this map

The Yukon River carves a complex network of braids and bypasses through the interior Alaska landscape on this 1950s survey. The dynamic nature of the river system is evident in the numerous features like Kings Slough and Marten Slough, which frame the large Kings Slough Island. A notable human mark on the landscape is Kings Slough Village (Aband), indicating a settled site that had already been vacated by the time of the mid-century field annotation. The terrain is a mixture of active waterways and stagnant features like Raspberry Lake and Herman Lake.
