1955 Map of Kateel River

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Kateel River and Koyukuk River dominate this mid-century interior landscape, where the shifting hydrology of the arctic floodplains is visible through a complex network of sloughs and cutoffs. The map records a series of essential riverfront sites and camps that supported travel and subsistence, including Huslia Landing Area and the Old Cutoff Trading Post, listed here as abandoned. Further inland, the distinctive Nogahabara Sand Dunes contrast with the surrounding marshy lowlands and the higher elevations of Roundabout Mountain. Small-scale structures like Tobys Cabin and Chips Cabin mark individual footprints in the wilderness, while named locations such as Colville Bend and Over The Hill Portage suggest established routes used before more modern infrastructure reached the region. The map also delineates the Continental Divide as it winds through the western ridges, separating the major drainage basins of the Yukon-Koyukuk area.
