1960 Map of Nabesna B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The braided channels of the Chisana River dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, which was photogrammetrically mapped using mid-1950s aerial photography. The remote terrain is marked by essential seasonal transportation routes, including a Winter Trail and a Tractor route that navigate the river valley and surrounding highlands. Of particular interest to local historians is the recorded location of King City (Site), situated on the banks of the river at the foot of the mountains. The presence of several drainages such as Brian Creek and Sheep Creek suggests a reliance on natural watercourses for navigation and geography in this largely unsurveyed region. This 1960 field annotation preserves the layout of the land before modern development, showing the intersection of vital trails with the ever-shifting riverbed.
