1956 Map of Melozitna

About this map

The Yukon River and Koyukuk River dominate this mid-century interior landscape, carving through the Kokrines Hills and Isanotski Mountains. The map documents a period of subsistence and communication infrastructure, showing the Telegraph Line cutting through the wilderness alongside traditional seasonal sites like Twelvemile Fishing Camp and Birches Native Fishing Camp. The hydrography is particularly intricate, with the Dulbi River, Melozitna River, and Little Indian River feeding into the larger systems, dotted by numerous river islands including Treat Island and Cronin Island.
