1956 Map of Beaver B-1

About this map

Beaver sits along the northern bank of the Yukon River, serving as a remote outpost within the extensive Yukon Flats during the mid-1950s. This survey illustrates the intricate aqueous landscape of the National Wildlife Refuge, where the river splits around large landmasses like Joe Guay Island and Joe Devlin Island. The network of sloughs, including Jack Uheen Slough and Tony Slough, demonstrates the volatile nature of the river's path, creating numerous oxbows and named water bodies like Annie Lake and Argo Bill Lake.
