1956 Map of Black River A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Grailing Fork Black River defines the drainage of this interior landscape, where complex networks of wetlands and ponds give way to the prominent elevations of the eastern mountains. Recorded in the mid-1950s, the map highlights the isolation of this region, marked only by the presence of isolated Cabins along the riverbanks. The terrain transitions from the marshy lowlands surrounding Vunvebottlui Lake to the significant heights of Steamboat Mountain and Rocky Mtn. Tributaries like Bull Creek and Dempsey Creek cut through the topography, illustrating the natural watercourses that dictated travel and subsistence in this part of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before any modern infrastructure reached the area.
