1952 Map of Kateel River B-3

About this map

The Koyukuk River winds through a vast alluvial landscape in this mid-century survey, revealing a complex network of oxbow lakes and wetlands. The river's serpentine path is punctuated by features like Sand Bluff, while the surrounding terrain is dominated by significant water bodies such as Tachantowa Lake and Nogadanooda Lake. This region, documented just after the era of early Arctic aviation and traditional river travel, shows a wilderness largely devoid of roads or permanent settlements, save for isolated Cabins near the northern boundary.
