1952 Map of Nulato D-5

About this map

The Yukon River and the winding Nulato River dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, which was mapped from aerial photography in the early 1950s. The region is defined by its drainage networks, including the southern flow of the Gisasa River and tributaries like Mukluk Creek and Woodyard Creek. For those tracing historical communications and early infrastructure, the Aband Telegraph Line is a significant feature, cutting across the southeastern corner near the Yukon. Human presence is sparse, marked only by an isolated Cabin in the northern section. Notable high points used for topographic surveying include VABM 2462 Bird, VABM 2283 First, and VABM 1050 Nulato, providing a record of the peaks that guided mappers across the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
