About this map

Fort Yukon serves as the focal point of this 1950s survey, situated at the strategic confluence of the Yukon River and the Porcupine River. This subarctic landscape within the Yukon Flats is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the Chandalar River and the Black River, which carve through the marshy terrain above the Arctic Circle. The map records a traditional Alaskan subsistence lifestyle, documenting numerous isolated dwellings and landmarks such as the Joe Carroll Cabin, Johnnie Frog Cabin, and the Toussaint Island Cabins.
