1960 Map of Nabesna

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Nabesna Village and several traditional settlements including Charleskin Village and Eltia Village anchor this mid-century survey of the eastern Alaska interior. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major mountain systems, where the Mentasta Mountains meet the Nutzotin Mountains and the volcanic peaks of the Wrangell Mountains, such as Tanada Peak and Mt Gordon. The transportation network of the era is clearly visible, with the Glenn Highway and Alaska Highway skirting the highlands, while the Nabesna Road provides access to the mining and hunting camps near the headwaters of the Nabesna River. Notable roadside landmarks of the period, such as Duffys Tavern and Scottie Creek Lodge, serve as key orientation points for travelers navigating the wilderness boundaries of the Tetlin Indian Reservation and the Wrangell-St Elias National Park and Preserve.
