1954 Map of Kateel River C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Huslia stands on the banks of a dramatic meander in the Koyukuk River, serving as a central point of settlement in this interior Alaskan landscape during the mid-1950s. The map illustrates a complex hydrologic network where the river's shifting course has created intricate features like Richards Slough and Dulbi Slough. This region is defined by its reliance on seasonal transport and small outposts, evidenced by the presence of a Winter Trail and a Landing Strip near the primary village. Further exploration of the riverbanks reveals smaller, isolated sites of human activity including Richards Camp, Simons Cabin, and unidentified Ruins. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by vast wetlands and numerous water bodies such as the expansive Boat Lake and Fivemile Lake, highlighting the seasonal challenges of navigating this interior wilderness before modern infrastructure expanded.
