1952 Map of Ruby B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Nowitna River meanders across this interior Alaskan landscape, creating a complex network of wetlands and oxbow lakes typical of the region's riverine geography in the early 1950s. A solitary Cabin situated near the confluence of the Titna River and the Nowitna represents the only named structural evidence of human habitation in this expansive wilderness. This indicates the area’s role as a site for seasonal subsistence or trapping rather than permanent settlement. The drainage patterns are defined by several notable tributaries, including Mastodon Creek and California Creek to the south, and the Big Mud River and Grand Creek in the northeast. The topography, mapped via photogrammetric methods from 1952 aerial photography, documents the natural state of these waterways before later twentieth-century environmental shifts.
