1954 Map of Melozitna D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Koyukuk River winds through this subarctic landscape in a complex series of tight oxbows and abandoned channels, defining the northern edge of a massive wetland system. This 1950s environment is dominated by the Dulbi Flats, a sprawling mosaic of marsh and water that includes features like Nododehon Lake. The intricate hydrology of the region is evident in the numerous secondary waterways such as Cutoff Slough, Messy Slough, and Nogoyalna Slough, which branch away from the main river channel around Treat Island. Human presence in this wilderness is minimal, represented only by a lone Cabin near the river and the landmark of Winthrop Point. The lack of roads or established trails on the map emphasizes the seasonal, river-dependent nature of travel and subsistence in the Yukon-Koyukuk region during the mid-20th century.
