1951 Map of Coleen

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Coleen River and the Porcupine River dominate this 1950s reconnaissance, capturing a remote landscape along the international border between Alaska and the Yukon. At the confluence of the Porcupine and Salmon Trout River, the settlement of Old Rampart stands as a focal point of human activity in an otherwise wilderness-dominated terrain. Small outposts like Owens Cabins and several unnamed cabins along the watercourses suggest a seasonal reliance on the river networks for trapping or travel. The map provides significant topographical detail for aviation and navigation, marking prominent heights such as Rabbit Mountain, Spike Mountain, and Canalaska Mtn. To the west, the Sheenjek River flows past Shoulder Mountain, while numerous unnamed lakes and features like Graphite Lake and Marten Island highlight the complex drainage patterns of the interior before modern development reached this frontier.
