1952 Map of Gulkana C-6

About this map

Tyone Village stands as a primary settlement node along the northern shore of Tyone Lake in this 1950s-era topographic study. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands, small ponds, and major drainage systems, including the southward-flowing Tyone River and the West Fork Gulkana River in the northeast. Surveyors established critical triangulation points at high elevations, marked by VABM 3537 Tyone and VABM 2680 Wonderly, providing the vertical control necessary to map this complex hydrological environment. The distribution of features suggests a reliance on the river and lake systems for movement across the interior, with the village positioned at a strategic junction between the open water and the surrounding tundra and hills.
