About this map

The Munsatli Mountains and Telida Mountains dominate the eastern reaches of this interior Alaska landscape, giving way to a vast network of wetlands and braided waterways. The Kuskokwim River North Fork and the Swift Fork Kuskokwim River meander through the central lowlands, joined by the winding Red Slough. This mid-century survey illustrates the seasonal nature of travel in the region, featuring a Winter Trail that cuts across the northern terrain. Human presence is sparse, represented only by a lone Cabin near Shellman Creek. The landscape is dotted with numerous small bodies of water, including the Chleca Lakes, Bellen Lakes, and Teliamina Lake, highlighting the complex drainage patterns typical of the Alaskan interior before modern development altered the wilderness.
