1953 Map of Nulato B-1

About this map

The Yuki River meanders through this interior Alaska landscape, joined by its East Fork in a region defined by complex river hydraulics and expansive wetlands. Mapped primarily through photogrammetric methods from 1952 aerial photography, the terrain is characterized by intricate oxbow lakes and shifting gravel bars along the river corridors. The absence of established roads or permanent settlements in this mid-century survey reflects the wilderness character of the area near the Kateel River Meridian. The topography consists of low-lying swampy basins interspersed with rising elevations, providing a clear record of the natural drainage patterns of the Yuki River basin before later development or environmental shifts altered these remote waterways.
