1955 Map of Kateel River

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Koyukuk River dominates the eastern half of this interior landscape, winding through a complex network of sloughs and oxbow lakes where the village of Huslia is established. The river's historical role in commerce is evident at the Old Cutoff Trading Post, while local subsistence patterns are reflected in sites like Fishing Camp, Richards Camp, and Vincents Camp. To the west, the terrain rises into the highlands drained by the Kateel River and Gisasa River, interrupted by the distinctive Nogahabara Sand Dunes. A Winter Trail cuts across the wetlands toward Roundabout Mountain, connecting remote outposts such as Tobys Cabin and the Over The Hill Portage. This mid-century survey captures a transition in northern transportation, documenting a landscape where seasonal trails and river landings remained the primary arteries for movement between isolated camps and the growing settlement at Huslia.
