1952 Map of Holy Cross A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Holy Cross Hills rise prominently over the confluence of the Yukon River and its intricate network of side-channels in this mid-century sub-arctic landscape. The settlement of Holy Cross sits at the foot of these hills, positioned along Walker Slough, while several cabins are scattered across the low-lying river islands. The map documents a complex aquatic geography defined by the winding Innoko River and a labyrinth of secondary waterways such as Red Wing Slough and Big Bend Slough. Movement through this interior region during the early 1950s relied heavily on seasonal routes, evidenced by the Winter Trail that cuts across the frozen wetlands north of Railroad City. Survey control points like VABM Paimut and VABM Holy Cross mark the triangulation efforts used to map this shifting landscape of silt and water.
