1955 Map of Kateel River

About this map

The Koyukuk River and its intricate network of sloughs and tributaries define this mid-century interior landscape, centered on the settlement of Huslia. The map records a way of life deeply tied to the waterways, evidenced by numerous seasonal sites and landmarks such as Old Cutoff Trading Post, Richards Camp, and Vincents Camp. To the west, the Continental Divide winds through the headwaters of the Kateel River and Tagagawik River, while the center of the sheet is dominated by the unique geography of the Nogahabara Sand Dunes.
