1954 Map of Nulato D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Galena Air Force Base stands as a prominent installation along the southern edge of this interior Alaskan landscape, positioned near the complex braided channels of the Yukon River. The topography is defined by the transition from the low-lying river valley to the upland terrain of the Nulato region. Water dominates the western half of the map, where the river splits around Serpentine Island and Lark Island, while Johnson Slough meanders through the wetlands. Further inland, the drainage systems of Bear Creek, Cub Bear Creek, and Beaver Creek carve through the hills. This 1954 survey, with minor revisions in 1965, illustrates the intersection of military infrastructure and the raw wilderness of the Yukon-Koyukuk area during the mid-century period.
