1956 Map of Beaver B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Yukon River dominates this mid-century Alaskan landscape, winding through a complex network of wetlands and side channels. At the heart of the region sits the settlement of Beaver, positioned near the confluence of Joe Guay Slough and the main river channel. The map illustrates a landscape defined by seasonal movement and water, featuring a Winter Trail that cuts across the marshes and a dedicated Airstrip serving the isolated community. Named landmarks such as Joe Devlin Island and George Meadow suggest a history of local navigation and subsistence use within the Yukon-Koyukuk region. Beyond the river, the interior is a maze of lakes and streams, including Mud Lakes and Beaver Creek, reflecting the intricate drainage patterns of the northern wilderness before modern infrastructure arrived.
