1953 Map of Norton Bay A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Old Woman River and the North Fork Unalakleet River converge within this mid-century survey of the Alaskan interior, showing a landscape defined by traditional transit corridors. The most significant historical marker is the Kaltag Portage, an ancient overland route connecting the Yukon River and Norton Sound. Along this path, the Old Woman Cabin sits at the foot of Old Woman Mountain, serving as a critical waypoint for travelers navigating the subarctic wilderness. The mapping of a Winter Trail and landmarks like Tenmile highlights the seasonal nature of movement in this region during the 1950s, before modern infrastructure altered these traditional patterns. This record is particularly valuable for those tracing the history of the Iditarod trail network or early inland communication routes between the coast and the Yukon valley.
