1956 Map of Black River C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The meandering course of the Black River dominates this mid-century landscape in the Yukon-Koyukuk region. In this unroaded wilderness, the river serves as the primary artery for navigation and life, marked by distinct riverine landmarks such as Deadman Riffle and the prominent Red Bluff. The presence of Doghouse Cabin along the northern banks suggests a seasonal or functional outpost in an otherwise sparsely populated interior. To the south, the terrain transitions into a flatter basin characterized by significant water bodies like Tiinkdhul Lake, reflecting the complex hydrological network of the Alaskan bush before modern development. This document captures the traditional names and isolated landmarks of the territory as they were recorded during the mid-1950s field surveys.
