1960 Map of Nabesna B-1

About this map

Wellesley Mountain rises as a central landmark in this subarctic wilderness along the international boundary between Alaska and the Yukon Territory. The landscape is defined by an extensive system of drainages and wetlands, including the Wellesley Lakes and Stevens Lakes in the north, and Carden Lake situated near the Garden Hills to the south. The mapping reflects the mid-century topography of the United States and Canada border, a region largely inaccessible except by the seasonal Winter Trail shown winding through the southwestern quadrant. Dominant watercourses like Snag Creek and Carden Creek illustrate the complex hydrography of the interior, while the absence of permanent settlements underscores the isolation of the area during the 1950s aerial surveys.
