1956 Map of Eagle C-1

About this map

The Yukon River cuts through the northeast corner of this territory, marking the approach to the United States Canada border. Inland from the river, the landscape is defined by the Taylor Highway, which traverses a series of ridges and valleys. This mid-century environment is dotted with isolated survival structures such as the Gravel Gulch Shelter Cabin and several other unnamed Cabins, indicating the area's importance for transit and remote habitation during the 1950s.
