1956 Map of Coleen A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Porcupine River carves a dramatic path through the Alaskan interior, serving as the primary geographic feature and transportation artery in this subarctic landscape. Near the eastern edge of the map, Canyon Village sits along the riverbanks, representing the primary point of human settlement in a region characterized by complex water systems and seasonal islands. The river is defined by sharp geographic markers such as the large oxbow at Fishhook Bend, which encircles Henry Martin Island. Further south, a solitary Cabin and numerous survey markers like Vabm 2268 indicate the sparse but present human imprint on the land during the mid-1950s. The intricate network of smaller tributaries, including Fish Creek, feeds into the main river channel, creating a landscape of marshes and fluctuating waterways essential for local travel and subsistence.
