1955 Map of Fort Yukon D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Sheenjek River dominates this mid-century landscape in the Fort Yukon region, weaving a complex network of meanders and oxbow lakes across the terrain. This 1955 survey illustrates the dynamic hydrology of the Alaskan interior, where the river's shifting course creates a dense collection of sloughs and seasonal water bodies. The absence of roads or established trails highlights the wilderness character of the area during the post-war period, as the Geological Survey relied on aerial photography rather than ground-based field checks to document the intricate drainage patterns. The map captures the natural rhythm of the Arctic floodplains, providing a detailed record of the river's morphology before modern environmental shifts altered these remote waterways.
