About this map

Dulbatna Mountain rises as a central landmark in this mid-century topographic survey of the Alaskan interior, anchoring a landscape defined by its intricate drainage systems. The northern reaches are dominated by the winding course of the Nayuka River, while the southeastern portion is marked by the broad, braided channels of the Dulbi River. These waterways reveal a complex network of seasonal tributaries and marshy lowlands typical of the region's geography.

The presence of Radio Creek and the high point at VABM 2748 Table indicate the early infrastructure of geological surveying and regional navigation. This 1:63,360 scale study, based on 1952 aerial photography, provides a snapshot of the terrain's natural contours and water patterns before significant modern alteration, serving as a primary reference for the hydrology of this part of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
