1952 Map of Nulato

About this map

The Yukon River carves a massive corridor through the Alaska interior in the mid-1950s, serving as the primary artery for travel between Nulato, Galena, and Kaltag. This survey shows the region's transition from traditional river-based life to the strategic aviation era, most notably at the Galena Air Force Base which stands as a prominent cold-war fixture along the riverbank. Nearby, civil aviation infrastructure like the CAA Station and several Radio Towers punctuate the landscape of sloughs and islands.
