1952 Map of Norton Bay C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Gisasa River winds through the northern interior of the Seward Peninsula region, eventually meeting the Nulato River as it cuts westward toward Norton Bay. This map, based on 1952 aerial photography, documents a wilderness landscape defined almost entirely by its hydrography and topography. The lack of roads, trails, or permanent settlements in this sector reflects the extreme isolation of the territory during the mid-twentieth century. Researchers focusing on the historical drainage patterns of the western Yukon-Koyukuk region will find the precise elevations and the convergence of these two major river systems particularly useful, as the map illustrates the natural corridors that have historically dictated movement through the Alaskan interior.
