1956 Map of Black River C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Black River meanders in dense, complex oxbows through this interior Alaskan wilderness, defining the landscape around the settlement of Chalkyitsik. Mapped from aerial photography in the mid-1950s, the terrain is a labyrinth of water and marsh, characterized by numerous named bodies such as Chahalie Lake, Big Timber Lake, and the expansive Ohtig Lake. The presence of an Airstrip near Chalkyitsik Slough and a north-south Tractor Trail highlights the remote nature of transportation in this region, where the river and seasonal overland routes were the primary means of movement.
