1959 Map of Nabesna A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Nutzotin Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape along the remote Alaska Yukon border. Surveyed in the late 1950s, the map reveals a wilderness primarily defined by glacial topography and an intricate drainage network. Water travels through high-elevation valleys via Beaver Creek and Bauthoff Creek, while the presence of a solitary Cabin and a remote Landing Strip near Horsfeld Creek suggests the seasonal outposts of trappers or early bush pilots. A long Winter Trail cuts across the northern reaches, following the contours of Cottonwood Creek and Anaconda Creek. This route represents a vital link in a region where travel depended entirely on seasonal conditions and the natural passes of the mountains, such as Braye Pass. The map serves as a primary record of the topographic character of this subarctic frontier before modern infrastructure reached the interior.
