1952 Map of Holy Cross B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Bonasila River drainage and the mighty Yukon River dominate this interior Alaska landscape, captured during a period of active resource exploration in the early 1950s. The settlement at Paradise sits along the eastern bank of the Yukon, positioned across from Carlo Island in a region defined by complex seasonal waterways. The industrial footprint of the era is anchored by the Bonasila Mine, located near the confluence of the river and Bonasila Slough. Low-lying wetlands and intricate drainage patterns like Deer Hunting Slough contrast with the higher ground where a Winter Trail provided essential overland passage. The presence of the Koserefski River further illustrates the dense network of tributaries that supported both subsistence and commercial interests in this remote territory.
