1954 Map of Kateel River D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Koyukuk River meanders through a dense network of wetlands and seasonal waterways in this mid-1950s interior Alaska survey. This riverine environment is defined by massive alluvial landforms such as Treat Island and Young Island, separated from the mainland by an intricate system of sloughs, including Huntington Slough and Cutoff Slough. The presence of the Old Cutoff Trading Post (Aband) suggests a shift in the local river-based economy, while a Fishing Camp and scattered Cabins indicate the continuing seasonal importance of the area for subsistence and trade. Large interior bodies of water like Whitefish Lake, Timber Lake, and First Lake dominate the low-lying plains between the larger river bends, illustrating the highly saturated landscape of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before contemporary changes to the drainage patterns.
