1956 Map of Black River C-6

About this map

Chalkyitsik sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along a sharp bend of the meandering Black River in the Yukon-Koyukuk region. This 1950s era survey captures the settlement's early aviation and transport links, specifically noting the Landing Strip and Chalkyitsik Slough that supported the remote community. The terrain is defined by a complex network of oxbow lakes and wetlands, where the river's path is shadowed by features like Fishhook Creek and the Grass River to the south.
