1958 Map of Medfra D-1

About this map

The Sischu Mountains dominate this 1958 interior Alaskan landscape, providing the high ground between the drainage basins of the Sethkokna River and the North Fork Kuskokwim River. Human presence is sparse in this subarctic wilderness, marked primarily by a lone Cabin and a lengthy Winter Trail that snakes through the western portion of the quadrangle. These seasonal routes were vital for movement across frozen muskeg and tundra before more permanent infrastructure reached the region.
