1959 Map of Medfra A-4

About this map

Medfra sits at the confluence of the winding Kuskokwim River and Medicine Creek in this late 1950s interior Alaska survey. The landscape is defined by the braided and meandering paths of the North East Fork and South Fork, which create a complex network of oxbow lakes and wetlands across the river valley. The isolation of the settlement is evident from the presence of a dedicated Airstrip and a Winter Trail leading toward Crooked Creek, essential lifelines for transport in an area without developed road infrastructure.
