1955 Map of Kateel River B-5
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The Pitka River and Honhosa River define this interior Alaskan landscape, which remained an unpopulated wilderness at the time of this 1950s survey. Topographical data from the U.S. Geological Survey shows a complex system of drainage and elevation, including several vertical angle bench marks (VABM) that served as primary triangulation points for early mapping. These specific landmarks, such as VABM Katgis 2041 and VABM Scotty 1940, indicate a terrain of high ridges and low-lying river valleys. As of this publication, no roads or trails existed in this area, representing a moment in Alaskan history before modern infrastructure or resource development reached this section of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
