1956 Map of Fort Yukon B-5

About this map

The Yukon River cuts across the northwest corner of this sub-arctic landscape, where a complex network of wetlands and meandering waterways dominates the terrain. This 1950s survey captures a wilderness characterized by the intricate drainage systems of Beaver Creek and the bifurcating paths of Upper Mouth Birch Creek and Lower Mouth Birch Creek. The presence of a solitary Cabin suggests infrequent human habitation or seasonal subsistence use in an area otherwise defined by its hydrological patterns. Survey points like VABM Gran 411 provide topographic anchors amidst the countless lakes and ponds. The map illustrates the natural hydraulic transitions where Tajittro Creek feeds into the larger marsh systems, showing the landscape before significant modern changes in the region's environmental management.
