1956 Map of Fort Yukon A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Yukon River carves a massive, braided path through this interior Alaskan landscape, dominated by a complex network of seasonal waterways and wetlands. In the mid-1950s, human presence was centered on the riverbanks at Twentytwo Mile Village, where a lone Cabin and the VABM Island survey station stand near the confluence of the Twentytwo Mile Slough. The topography is defined by the shifting nature of these alluvial channels, which are bounded by an extensive Winter Trail and an Approximate Winter Trail to the north, suggesting the importance of seasonal overland travel in the absence of permanent roads. Near the southern edge of the sheet, Birch Creek joins the larger river system, highlighting the intersection of multiple drainage basins in this low-lying, swampy territory.
