1952 Map of Holy Cross B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Yukon River and Innoko River dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, creating a complex network of sloughs and wetlands where the two massive waterways converge. In the early 1950s, human presence was marked by small outposts such as Travis Cabins and several isolated Cabins scattered along the banks, reflecting the seasonal and subsistence-based lifestyle of the region. Overland travel during this era relied on a Winter Trail that paralleled the Yukon, providing a vital connection through the subarctic terrain when the ground and waters were frozen. Landforms like Carlo Island and the oxbow-formed Horseshoe Lake illustrate the constant shifting of these river systems, which served as the primary transit corridors for both indigenous people and early 20th-century settlers.
