About this map

The Yukon River dominates the northwest corner of this Interior Alaska landscape, where Theodore Island sits amidst the heavy flow of the river system. This 1950s survey captures the drainage patterns of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, revealing a network of waterways including Ross Creek and Rogers Creek that carve through the high ground. The terrain is defined by prominent survey points like VABM Rogers and VABM Hamlin, which mark significant elevations overlooking the valley floors.

Water features such as Jackson Lake and the passage at Gatlena Gap provide essential landmarks in a region largely defined by its natural drainage. The map details the remote character of the territory before significant modern development, focusing on the intricate path of Waldron Creek and Fish Creek as they navigate the varied topography. This document is a vital record for understanding the original hydrography and elevation markers of this subarctic wilderness.
