1952 Map of Nulato A-3

About this map

Yuki River meanders across this interior landscape, joined by its East Fork Yuki River as it traverses the remote Yukon-Koyukuk region. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and prominent elevations such as Round Top and Flat Top, providing distinct landmarks for early mid-century navigation. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Little Mud River and Mud River snake through swampy lowlands, reflecting the dynamic hydrologic character of the subarctic wilderness. The lack of roads or established settlements on this 1952 survey highlights the isolation of this territory, where only natural topographic features and the local drainage system dictated travel. One notable landmark, simply labeled Burn, suggests the long-term impact of forest fires on the Alaskan interior's vegetation patterns during this era.
