1960 Map of Nabesna C-5

About this map

The Mentasta Mountains dominate this 1960s landscape, with Noyes Mountain serving as a primary high point. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and remote access routes, including a Tractor Trail and a Pack Trail that cut through the high elevations. To the east, the boundary of the Tetlin Indian Reservation runs along the Tetlin River, marking a transition in land use and jurisdiction. The southern lowlands are dotted with several significant water bodies such as Jacks Lake, Twin Lakes, and Big Grayling Lake. Evidence of human presence is sparse, limited to a few scattered Cabins and a Gravel Pit near Caribou Creek. This survey captures the interior's drainage patterns, where the Little Tok River and Suslositna Creek carve through the foothills before reaching the more level basins below.
