1952 Map of Holy Cross D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Anvik River and Yellow River dominate this interior landscape within the Yukon-Koyukuk region, illustrating a complex network of waterways as they appeared in the early 1950s. The confluence of these rivers and their various tributaries, such as Beaver Creek and Theodore Creek, highlights a terrain defined by shifting drainage patterns and seasonal wetlands. Human presence is sparse and strictly functional, represented by isolated Cabins and a lone Cabin situated along the riverbanks, likely serving as seasonal camps for trapping or subsistence activities. The presence of the North Boundary Seward Meridian running across the map reflects the formal surveying efforts of the Army Map Service during an era of systematic mapping in the Alaskan interior. This survey provides a baseline for understanding the unchanged character of this riverine environment before later environmental or climate-driven shifts in the subarctic landscape.
