1952 Map of Ruby B-1

About this map

Titna River meanders across this interior landscape, defined by a broad expanse of wetlands and complex oxbow formations. In this 1952 study, the river serves as the primary geographical anchor, joined from the south by the Telzitna River. The presence of small structures labeled simply as Cabins along the northern bank of the Titna River points to the seasonal subsistence and trapping patterns characteristic of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. To the far north, the Big Mud River clips the corner of the quadrangle, while the southeast is drained by Baker Creek. This map preserves the remote character of the territory along the Kateel River Meridian before later developments, showing a wilderness accessible primarily by water and traditional overland routes.
