1952 Map of Fort Yukon C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Yukon River dominates this mid-century landscape, carving a braided path through a complex network of wetlands and seasonal waterways. Along its northern banks, Venetie Landing serves as a primary point of contact for river travel within the Venetie Indian Reservation. This map captures a remote riverine economy where the flow of water dictates movement, evidenced by the secondary drainages of the Chandalar River and the Christian River which feed into the larger system. The presence of isolated Cabins near Cutoff Slough suggests the seasonal patterns of trapping, fishing, or subsistence living that defined the region in the early 1950s. The intricate maze of land and water is further detailed through named channels like Back Yukon Slough and Nuntragut Slough, illustrating the shifting geography of the Alaskan interior before modern development reached these reaches.
