About this map

The Yukon River dominates the southern edge of this landscape, its broad course cutting past the site of Old Kaltag. This area of the Alaskan interior is defined by the drainage of Poison Cr, which threads through the uplands before meeting the major waterway. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Spruce Tree Point and Dunce Cap Point, offering a detailed look at the land's contours just north of the Yukon's main channel.

While the region appears largely unpopulated in this contemporary survey, the presence of Old Kaltag near the riverbank points to the deep historical and cultural geography of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The map provides an essential record of the local topography and hydrography, charting the relationship between the interior creeks and the arterial river that has long served as the primary corridor for movement and life in the Alaskan bush.
