1954 Map of Kateel River D-4

About this map

The Huslia River winds across this interior Alaskan landscape, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies that dominate the central drainage. The terrain is marked by significant elevation points used for early aerial photogrammetric control, such as Vabm 1162 Shot and Vabm 777 Berry, which rise above the surrounding basin. In the southern portion of the map, the South Fork feeds into the main river system, creating a dense pattern of oxbows and seasonal ponds. This 1950s survey captures a wilderness area devoid of roads or permanent settlements, reflecting the remote nature of the Fourth Judicial Division before modern development or infrastructure reached this part of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
