1958 Map of Medfra C-2

About this map

The North Fork Kuskokwim River defines the southeastern drainage of this interior Alaskan landscape, where the meandering waterway gives way to a complex network of streams and marshy lowlands. High ground is marked by the Sischu Mountains to the north and Stone Mountain to the west, separated by the narrow corridor of Pass Creek. Human presence in the late 1950s was minimal and temporary, primarily consisting of isolated structures like Stones Cabins and a lone Cabin located near the riverbank. This map captures a remote frontier environment where transportation was dictated by seasonal conditions, evidenced by the presence of a Winter Trail cutting across the northeastern terrain near Little Hog Butte. Numerous named waterways, including Rungun Creek and Hardscrabble Creek, suggest a landscape well-known to local trappers or surveyors who navigated the dense drainage basins.
