1952 Map of Melozitna A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Gold Mountain dominates the northern interior of this Alaskan interior survey, which centers on a major bend of the Yukon River during the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by the shifting hydrology of the river, marked by large landmasses like Young Island, Lady Island, and Chokoyik Island separated by channels such as Pike Slough. Traces of human activity are sparse but significant, indicating a seasonal and transport-oriented economy. A Native Fishing Camp sits on the riverbank near the confluence with Birches Creek, while a Landing Strip (CAA) nearby provided a critical link for small aircraft. Several Cabins are noted along the banks between Ninemile Pt and Lady Pt, representing the remote outposts of the territory before Alaskas statehood.
