1952 Map of Kateel River B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Koyukuk River dominates this interior Alaska landscape, captured through aerial photography in the early 1950s. The river's winding path is marked by sharp oxbows and a series of cabins located along its banks, suggesting seasonal habitation or remote outposts for hunting and trapping. Tributaries like the Dulbi River and the Holtnikatna River feed into the broader valley, creating a complex network of wetlands and a prominent Slough in the northern reaches. The terrain rises to distinct landmarks such as Dubin Pt, providing topographic contrast to the low-lying river basin. This survey provides a precise look at the hydrology and rudimentary settlement patterns in the Yukon-Koyukuk region before significant modern development, documenting a wilderness shaped entirely by its waterways.
