1954 Map of Melozitna B-6

About this map

Dulbi Slough and a vast network of unnamed wetlands define this subarctic landscape in the Yukon-Koyukuk region. Surveyed via aerial photography in the early 1950s, the map highlights the intricate drainage patterns of Cottonwood Creek and Telukhti Creek as they meander through a mix of marshy lowlands and rising terrain. A key geodetic marker, VABM Knob 1387, serves as a prominent elevation point in the southwestern quadrant, while the Kateel River Base Line provides the primary surveying datum for this remote interior wilderness. The lack of named settlements or roads underscores the region's character as a roadless frontier where waterways and elevation benchmarks were the only reliable landmarks for navigation and land management.
