1956 Map of Fort Yukon D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The interior wilderness of Alaska, mapped during the mid-1950s, reveals a complex network of wetlands and isolated water bodies north of the Arctic Circle. The landscape is defined by its low-lying marshes and the absence of established roads or settlements, as seen in the remote drainage patterns of the Vunlui Lake and Vunzik Lake systems. These features characterize the interior Yukon region as it appeared before modern development, showcasing an environment shaped entirely by its hydrology. Further south, smaller landmarks like Sardine Can Lake and Cache Lake appear amidst a cluster of unnamed ponds and marshes. This survey, based on 1955 aerial photography, provides a record of the unsurveyed and unmarked land lines that dominated the territory just before Alaskan statehood.
