1960 Map of Nabesna B-3

About this map

Antler Creek and Stuver Creek dominate this 1960 landscape, revealing the drainage patterns of a high-altitude wilderness before extensive modern development. The map details a seasonal transportation network essential for Arctic travel, including the Winter Trail in the northeast and a Tractor Trail near the southern edge. These corridors suggest how early twentieth-century explorers and miners navigated the terrain. Notable landmarks like Cooper Pass and the confluence of Lick Creek provide critical reference points in an area defined by glacial valleys and steep divides. The presence of Ninemile Creek and Canyon Creek underscores the complex waterway system that dictates movement through this part of the Alaska Range.
