1956 Map of Bettles

About this map

The Arctic Circle crosses this mid-century landscape of the central Brooks Range foothills, where the Koyukuk River and its tributaries define the pattern of human activity. The settlement of Bettles sits at the confluence of the John River, serving as a hub near Evansville and the Radio Towers at the base of Lookout Mtn. Downstream, the mission and native villages of Allakaket and Alatna are situated across from one another on a bend in the river, reflecting the region's enduring river-based transport network before the dominance of modern roads.
