1956 Map of Fort Yukon B-6

About this map

White Eye Village sits along a complex network of braids and islands where the Hadweenzic River meets the Yukon River. This mid-century survey illustrates a dynamic hydrological landscape dominated by the winding paths of Beaver Creek and Lower Mouth Birch Creek. The region is defined by a dense concentration of small lakes and ponds across the flats, punctuated by isolated Cabin and Cabins that indicate the seasonal or subsistence use of these waterways. The map details the intricate connections of the Lower Mouth Slough and Fish Creek, revealing how the landscape remained shaped by the shifting currents and alluvial deposits of the great northern river systems before significant modern development.
