1953 Map of Nulato C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Nulato River and its major tributary, the South Fork Nulato River, dominate the drainage patterns of this interior Alaskan landscape. Mapping based on 1952 aerial photography reveals a wilderness setting where transportation was primarily limited to water or air, indicated by an isolated Landing Strip near the river's edge. This 1953 field-annotated sheet captures a moment when early energy exploration reached the region, evidenced by a lonely Oil Well (Aband) located east of the main river channel. The topographic data also traces the Kateel River Principal Meridian, a critical surveying baseline for the Bureau of Land Management's pre-determined but then-unmarked land lines. Further southeast, the Ninemi l e R i v e r cuts through the terrain, illustrating the intricate network of waterways defining the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
