About this map

The Yukon River dominates this interior landscape, carving a wide path past the settlement of Kaltag. This mid-century survey reveals a corridor of transport and communication along the riverbank, including the Abandoned Telegraph Line and the Kaltag CAA Station. Smaller outposts and river stops like Fourmile Camp and Rodokakat (Alex's) dot the eastern bank, while the western side rises toward landmarks such as Notakok Mountain and Tamantaloi Hill.

The presence of an active Landing Strip and multiple Cabins suggests a reliance on both aerial and riverine access. Drainage systems like the Portage River and Rodo River feed into the main Yukon channel, illustrating the seasonal water patterns that dictated movement in this region. The map also records a small Cem near the river, providing a valuable point of reference for local family histories.
