1970 Map of Bettles D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Evansville serves as the primary hub in this interior Alaskan landscape, situated where the Wild River meets the sweeping curves of the Koyukuk River. The settlement is supported by vital transportation infrastructure of the era, including the Bettles Airport, a Boat and Seaplane Base, and a series of Radio Towers. To the west, the Alatna Hills rise toward Lookout Mountain, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the wetlands of the Kanuti National Wildlife Refuge. Grounded in a 1970 survey with minor revisions in 1988, the map documents a reliance on seasonal transport, notably the Winter Trail that weaves across the river valleys. Local heritage is marked by the Bettles Cem and scattered Cabin sites, illustrating the thin but persistent footprint of human activity along the John River corridor.
