1964 Map of Black River

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Salmon Village and John Herberts Village sit along the winding watercourses of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, illustrating the importance of river-based settlement in mid-century Alaska. This 1964 edition, based on earlier surveys from the 1950s, reveals a landscape defined by an intricate network of sloughs and lakes, including the sprawling Black River and the Porcupine River crossing near Graphite Pt. The presence of John Roberts Cabin and Daphne Cabin alongside the Chalkyitsik Landing Area highlights the sparse, individual outposts that characterized the territory. Large-scale topographic features such as Frozen Calf Mountain, Niggerhead Mountain, and Steamboat Mountain dominate the interior, while the international boundary with the United States and Canada is clearly delineated to the east, providing critical context for researchers tracing the geography of the Alaska-Yukon borderlands.
