1960 Map of Nabesna B-4

About this map

The Nabesna River corridor dominates this interior Alaskan landscape, serving as a braided waterway through the valley between the Mentasta Mountains and the Nutzotin Mountains. In this mid-century period, human presence is concentrated near the river’s western banks at Devils Mountain Lodge, supported by essential bush aviation infrastructure including Reeve Field and a nearby Landing Strip. The network of Tractor Trails suggests the rugged nature of transport across the tundra and through the Raven Hills Creek drainage. To the south, high-elevation topography like Devils Mountain and Gold Hill loom over a series of remote water bodies, including Fish Creek Lake, Virginia Lake, and Whitham Lake. The map reveals a land defined by seasonal drainages like Platinum Creek and Totschunda Creek, where glacial runoff from the surrounding peaks feeds the wide, shifting gravel bars of the main river valley.
