1955 Map of Fort Yukon C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Fort Yukon sits at the critical confluence of the Yukon River and the Porcupine River, serving as a vital hub in the vast northern interior. The settlement is anchored by the Fort Yukon Municipal Airport and a Seaplane Base on Hospital Lake, illustrating the mid-century dependence on bush aviation for mail and transport. The surrounding Yukon Flats comprise a labyrinthine network of water, including Nuntragut Slough, Eightmile Slough, and Yilota Slough, which define a landscape of shifting channels and silt-laden banks. A Winter Trail provides the only overland connection shown, winding past Toussaint Island toward the south. This environment is further characterized by numerous named islands like Homebrew Island and Jenny Island, and small backcountry camps labeled simply as Cabin, reflecting the subsistence and seasonal patterns of life within the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge.
