1956 Map of Charley River B-4

About this map

The Yukon River carves a massive, winding path through the center of this 1950s interior Alaska landscape, defining the region's geography and historical travel routes. Along its banks, the dramatic rise of Chester Bluff stands over the northern shore, while a solitary Cabin sits near the confluence of Woodchopper Creek, hinting at the sparse human footprint in this wilderness during the mid-century era. The terrain is characterized by extensive wetlands and complex hydrological features, including the presence of a Pingo, a characteristic permafrost mound.
