1952 Map of Nulato D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Galena Air Force Base occupies a prominent position in the southern reach of this mid-century survey, its presence marked by the distinct Military Reservation Boundary line. The landscape is dominated by the intricate hydrology of the Yukon River and its accompanying waterways, including Johnson Slough and numerous small lakes and marshes. The river's path is defined by several significant islands such as Lark Island, Serpentine Island, and Galena Island, which illustrate the shifting character of the delta. Moving inland, the terrain is drained by systems like Bear Creek, Cub Bear Creek, and Beaver Creek. This 1952 documentation, derived from aerial photography, captures the area during a period of strategic military significance in Alaska's interior, showing the intersection of remote wilderness with cold war era infrastructure.
