1956 Map of Melozitna

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Koyukuk River and Yukon River define the life and travel of this Interior Alaska landscape during the mid-1950s. Traditional subsistence and fishing sites are well-documented, including the Birches Native Fishing Camp and Twelvemile Fishing Camp, alongside the Melozitna Native Village. These sites, connected by a Telegraph Line following the Yukon, represent the intersection of ancestral lands with mid-century communication infrastructure. Geothermal features like Pocahontas Hot Springs and Melozitna Hot Springs highlight the unique geology of the Indian Mts and Kokrines hills. Small-scale resource extraction is visible through the Macer Mine and Placer Mine near the riverbanks. The prevalence of seasonal dwellings such as Eightmile Cabins and the Reindeer Camp reflects a landscape utilized for hunting and trapping far from established town centers.
