1955 Map of Fort Yukon D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Sheenjek River winds through this expanse of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, defining a landscape dominated by intricate hydrological patterns. Surveyed from 1955 aerial photography, the terrain is characterized by a dense network of meanders, oxbow lakes, and wetland areas that illustrate the shifting nature of the river system. Because no roads or trails are noted on the sheet, the map provides a pure record of the natural drainage and unsurveyed land lines as predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management. The heavy concentration of swamp symbols and low-relief contours indicates a seasonally dynamic environment where water is the primary architect of the landscape. Researchers can use this record to study the historical course of the Sheenjek River before subsequent decades of natural erosion and channel migration altered the basin.
