1951 Map of Charley River

About this map

The Yukon River serves as the primary corridor through this vast subarctic wilderness, connecting isolated outposts and industrial sites during the early Cold War era. Along its banks, the settlements of Woodchopper and Sam Creek are recorded with their respective landing areas, while evidence of mineral exploration is visible through markings for tailings and a ditch near Coal Creek. This landscape is defined by the convergence of major tributaries, including the Charley River and the Kandik River, which flow through a series of high ridges and mountains such as Kathul Mtn and the appropriately named Indian Grave Mtn.
