About this map

The Yukon River and its intricate network of sloughs dominate this 1952 landscape, where the Andreafsky River meets the larger waterway. The map documents the community of Andreafsky (St Marys PO) and the nearby St Marys Corporate Bdy, alongside older riverine settlements such as Old Andreafsky and Pitkas Point. The presence of a Winter Trail (Approximate) and a Landing Strip underscores the seasonal and aerial nature of transportation in this environment before modern road infrastructure.

Along the western bank of the Yukon, the small settlements of Kobolunuk and Wilburs Place are noted near the Kwikloaklok waterway. The terrain rises sharply away from the water into the Andreafsky Hills, centered around Andreafsky Mountain. This survey effectively preserves the mid-century spatial relationship between established post offices, seasonal trails, and industrial markers like the Cannery at the river's edge.
