1955 Map of Fort Yukon D-4

About this map

Venetie Indian Reservation dominates this mid-century topographic study, revealing an intricate aquatic landscape of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The interior is defined by a dense network of hydrologic features, including the sprawling Vehtenjerlow Lakes and the winding courses of the Christian River and Chandalar River. While the terrain is predominantly water and marshland, human presence is recorded at the settlement of Tsukon and scattered Cabins located near the riverbanks. A notable logistical element is the Sled Trail (Approximate) which cuts through the eastern portion of the quadrangle near Twentymile Lake, indicating the seasonal transport methods essential to this subarctic environment. The lack of permanent roads highlights the reliance on waterways like Kocacho Creek and Marten Creek for movement through the interior during this era.
