About this map

The Nabesna River corridor dominates this interior Alaska landscape, carving a wide path through the eastern portion of the map alongside Nabesna Slough. The intricate network of waterways includes the Kalutna River and Tettin River, which drain a complex system of large lakes like Halthamund Lake, Thadithamund Lake, and Chindagmund Lake. These water bodies are often separated by prominent landforms such as Halthada Hill and the distinctive Titus Island.

Evidence of seasonal travel is preserved via the Winter Trail, which runs parallel to the river systems through what is now the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge. The southern terrain rises toward the Black Hills, while isolated summits like Kirishuda Hill and Taixtsalda Hill provide vantage points above the low-lying river flats and wetlands. This 1954 topography captures the region's wilderness character before the formalization of modern conservation boundaries.
