1952 Map of Holy Cross C-1

About this map

Innoko River winds through the northwestern corner of this territory, representing the primary waterway for an otherwise densely ridged interior. The landscape consists of a complex network of unnamed drainage basins and elevations that define the region south of the Innoko River. This mid-century survey, based on 1951 aerial photography, captures the area before modern development, showing the sheer isolation of the Alaskan wilderness. A solitary Winter Trail cuts across the northeastern hills, signifying the seasonal overland movement essential for travel and subsistence in this remote environment when the ground was frozen and navigable.
