1955 Map of Fort Yukon D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Venetie Indian Reservation dominates this landscape, defined by a dense network of subarctic wetlands and waterways as they appeared in the mid-1950s. The region is characterized by a labyrinth of water, including the Veh-Tenjerlow Lakes in the north and Twentymile Lake to the south. This environment dictated a reliance on seasonal transport routes, evidenced by the presence of a Sled Trail cutting through the lake-strewn terrain toward the Christian River. Small-scale human presence is recorded at the settlement of Tsukon and various cabins, suggesting the seasonal fishing and trapping patterns of the Gwich'in people. The Chandalar River clips the southwestern corner, while Marten Creek and Kocacho Creek drain the central interior, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Yukon River watershed before significant modern development.
