1952 Map of Nulato

About this map

The Yukon River serves as the central artery for this interior Alaskan region, anchored by the river settlements of Nulato, Kaltag, and Galena. This 1952 survey documents a landscape defined by seasonal movement and cold-war infrastructure, most notably the Galena Air Force Base and the Kaltag CAA Station. These outposts represent the era's focus on arctic aviation and communications, while an Abandoned Telegraph Line tracing the northern bank marks an earlier phase of terrestrial connectivity.
