1952 Map of Nulato A-2

About this map

The serpentine course of the Yuki River dominates this interior Alaska landscape, captured during a 1950s survey of the Nulato A-2 region. The terrain is defined by its complex drainage network, where the East Fork Yuki River carves a significant path through the hills. This document records the wilderness in its mid-century state, when topographic detail was established through 1952 aerial photography and 1955 multiplex methods. Geodetic markers and triangulation stations indicate the high points used for early navigation and mapping, including VABM Kede 2247 and VABM Bare 2116. The absence of roads or trails emphasizes the isolation of this Yukon-Koyukuk territory, providing a benchmark of the natural geography before later human infrastructure reached these interior drainages.
