1954 Map of McGrath C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Kuskokwim River dominates this interior Alaskan landscape, winding through a complex system of sloughs and sandbars as it appeared in the mid-1950s. The river's path is marked by features such as Nunivak Bar and the confluence with the Selatna River and Little River. This survey captures the wilderness character of the region before significant modern development, emphasizing the natural topography and the importance of water systems for navigation and survival in the subarctic. Rising above the low-lying river valley are prominent landmarks including Vinasale Mountain and Selatna Mountain, providing essential orienting points for travelers. Smaller tributaries like Beaver Creek and Black River feed into the main channel, illustrating the dense hydrological network of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The area around Vinasale represents a site of historical interest in a region where seasonal movement and river access shaped the settlement patterns of the era.
