1957 Map of Nabesna C-5

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

The Mentasta Mountains dominate this 1957 landscape, where Noyes Mountain rises above the glacial drainage of the Little Tok River. This interior region represents a vital corridor through the Wrangell Saint Elias wilderness, defined by the critical Nabesna Road which serves as the primary artery for travel and resource access. To the south, the topography transitions into the Wrangell Saint Elias National Park, where a series of lakes including Jack Lake, Twin Lakes, and Peggy Lake are connected by the historical Winter Trail. Evidence of human activity is clustered near these transportation routes, including isolated Cabins, a Gravel Pit for road maintenance, and a remote Landing Strip. The presence of Graves near the eastern boundary reflects the deep-rooted history of the area's inhabitants before the formalized preserve and park boundaries were established.
