1951 Map of Charley River

About this map

The Yukon River carves a massive, braided corridor through this Alaskan interior landscape, serving as the primary artery for travel and trade between remote outposts. Along its banks, the map records the infrastructure of the early-to-mid 20th-century frontier, including several Landing Areas and small settlements like Woodchopper and Sam Creek. The geography is defined by significant tributaries such as the Charley River, Nation River, and Kandik River, which feed into the Yukon from the surrounding high country. Resource extraction and early industrial activity are evidenced by the presence of Tailings near Coal Creek and a Ditch system. Rising above the river valleys are prominent landmarks like Kathul Mtn and Twin Mtn, while the far eastern edge of the map identifies the international boundary between Alaska and Canada near the Tatonduk River.
