1956 Map of Hughes A-2

About this map

The Indian Mountains dominate this mid-century interior landscape, rising above a network of waterways and winter transport routes. A notable center of activity is found at the base of Indian Mountain, where a Landing Strip and Placer Mine indicate the era's reliance on bush aviation and small-scale mineral extraction in this roadless territory. The survey captures a time before modern infrastructure, where travel often relied on seasonal routes like the Sled Trail in the northwest corner.
