1952 Map of Nulato D-1

About this map

Hottahkalna Creek winds through the northern drainage of this interior landscape, illustrating the remote hydrological patterns mapped by the Geological Survey during the early 1950s. The terrain is defined by its watercourses and elevation markers, including the meandering Bear Creek which dominates the southern half of the quadrangle. A prominent survey point, VABM Beta 3274, stands as a primary landmark in the eastern hills. This 1952 study, with minor revisions made in the mid-1970s, captures a wilderness area before significant modern development, focusing on the natural topography and the intricate network of seasonal streams and marshes common to the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
