1952 Map of Nulato A-2

About this map

The Yuki River and its major tributary, the East Fork Yuki River, dominate this interior Alaskan landscape as it was documented in the early 1950s. The map captures a high-elevation wilderness defined by prominent survey markers, including Vabm Kite 2247 and Vabm Bare 2116. These triangulation stations represent the critical early mapping efforts by the Geological Survey to chart the Yukon-Koyukuk region using 1952 aerial photography. The drainage patterns and topographic relief shown here reflect an environment entirely devoid of roads or permanent settlements at the time of the survey, where the river systems served as the primary natural corridors through the varied terrain, punctuated only by peaks like Vabm Quartz 1573.
