1952 Map of Ruby B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Nowitna River meanders sharply through the heart of the Alaska interior in this mid-century survey, defining a landscape of complex waterways and dense marshland. Along its course, a solitary Cabin stands as the only named structure, reflecting the sparse human presence in this region during the early 1950s. The river is joined by the Titna River and Big Mud River, forming an intricate drainage system that dominates the topography. High points such as VABM 2160 Nowitna and VABM 2048 Mastodon provide the primary survey control for the surrounding highlands. These peaks overlook Mastodon Creek, where the terrain transitions from steep ridges to broad, waterlogged flats. The lack of roads or established trails highlights the river-dependent nature of travel and subsistence in this part of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
