1952 Map of Holy Cross D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Yukon River dominates the eastern edge of this mid-century survey, its massive channel carving through the interior landscape past Eagle Island. In the early 1950s, this area of Alaska remained largely wild, defined by drainage systems like Grayling Creek and the Yellow River in the northwest. Local human activity is concentrated along the riverbanks, where isolated Cabins and a designated Trail indicate the reliance on the river for travel and subsistence. This topographic study, mapped by the Army Map Service and published for civil use, illustrates the transition from the high, dissected hills in the interior toward the low-lying wetlands of the Yukon River valley, providing a clear record of the region's physical geography before modern infrastructure reached this part of the interior.
