1954 Map of Melozitna A-3

About this map

The Kokrines Hills dominate this mid-century survey of the Alaskan interior, showing a landscape defined by its remote drainages and early communication infrastructure. Along the southern edge, the Yukon River flows past Henry Island, where an Abandoned Telegraph Line traces the riverbank, marking a former lifeline through the wilderness. To the north, the terrain transitions into a complex network of waterways including Hot Springs Creek and the North Fork. This area reflects the mid-century intersection of indigenous subsistence and earlier commercial efforts, evidenced by the Reindeer Camp (Aband) near Reindeer Creek. A lone Cabin near the river indicates the persistent, if sparse, human presence in this region during the 1950s.
