1952 Map of Holy Cross B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Chuilnak River winds across the northern reaches of this mid-century topographic study, defining a landscape dominated by complex drainage patterns and numerous small ponds. Situated in the Alaskan interior near the confluence of the Yukon and Kuskokwim basins, the terrain transitions from low-lying water systems to the elevated ridges in the east. Evidence of seasonal habitation or subsistence use appears near Allman Lake, where isolated Cabins are noted along the shore. The southern portion of the map is marked by the course of the Nageethluk River, which cuts through the foothills of the rising eastern highlands. This survey, based on aerial photography from the early 1950s, documents the intricate wetland network and natural landmarks used by travelers and residents in this part of Alaska before modern development significantly altered the region's accessibility.
