1952 Map of Melozitna A-6

About this map

The Dulbi River creates a serpentine corridor across this Alaskan landscape as it appeared in the early 1950s. Flowing through the Melozitna region, the river's path is characterized by tight oxbows and a broad floodplain that transitions into upland terrain. This specific survey was compiled using aerial photography from 1952, capturing a remote area where the natural drainage patterns of the river dominate the topography. The absence of roads, trails, or established settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of the Yukon-Koyukuk interior at this time, providing a clear record of the hydrography and elevation before any modern infrastructure development reached this part of the Fourth Judicial Division.
