1960 Map of Nabesna

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Northway Indian Village and several other indigenous settlements mark the confluence of the Nabesna River and Chisana River in this mid-century survey of eastern Alaska. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Wrangell Mountains and Mentasta Mountains, where landmarks like Tanada Peak and Mt Gordon rise above the complex river networks. Human activity is concentrated along the arterial Alaska Highway and Glenn Highway, connecting isolated locations such as Slana and the Seaton Roadhouse. The map documents the extensive Tetlin Indian Reservation and the mining-related geography near Nabesna at Gold Hill, while further east, Gardiner Creek Camp sits near the international border with the United States Canada boundary. Numerous remote water bodies, including Halthmund Lake and Tahamund Lake, dot the lowlands between the Black Hills and the winding river valleys.
