1956 Map of Fort Yukon B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Yukon River cuts across the northern edge of this interior landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of wandering waterways and seasonal wetlands. The territory is dominated by the complex drainage of Beaver Creek and the meandering channels of Upper Mouth Birch Creek and Lower Mouth Birch Creek. This 1950s-era survey reveals a terrain of immense hydrological complexity, where numerous lakes such as Canvasback Lake and Scaup Lake are interconnected by sloughs and smaller streams like Tajittro Creek. The lack of road infrastructure and the presence of only a single isolated Cabin and high-point survey markers like VABM Gran 411 underscore the remote character of this region. The map provides a critical look at the natural state of the Yukon basin’s floodplain before contemporary changes, offering a detailed record of the shifting river bends and oxbows.
