1952 Map of Nulato B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Yukon River carves through this northern landscape, its course defined by prominent features like Halfway Island and Sevenmile Island. The river’s complex hydrologic system is evident in the winding Kaiyuh Slough and the Khotol River, which snake through a dense network of wetlands and smaller water bodies. Evidence of early infrastructure is visible along the river's western bank, where an Abandoned Telegraph Line runs north-south, a remnant of historic communication efforts in the Alaskan interior. To the south, the terrain rises into the Magitchlie Range, providing a sharp contrast to the saturated lowlands. A lone Cabin near the riverbank serves as one of the few indicators of human presence in this mid-century survey, illustrating the isolation of the region before significant modern development reached this part of the Fourth Judicial Division.
