1958 Map of Medfra A-2

About this map

Babybasket Hill rises above the meandering convergence of the East Fork Kuskokwim River and its varied tributaries, documenting a landscape defined by water and isolation in the late 1950s. The map captures a complex drainage system where the Slow Fork Kuskokwim River and Tonzona River wind through expansive wetlands and muskeg. Evidence of human presence is sparse and seasonal, centered on a lone Landing Strip and a network including a Winter Trail and a standard Trail.
