1952 Map of Ruby C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Nowitna River meanders through a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and complex river systems in this mid-century Alaksan interior survey. The terrain is characterized by the winding paths of the Sulatna River and Little Mud River, which carve through the region before being designated as part of the Nowitna National Wildlife Refuge. This mapping reflects the state of the wilderness in the early 1950s, shortly after the initial photogrammetric data was captured. A solitary Cabin situated along the lower reach of the Nowitna River represents a rare trace of human presence in a territory otherwise dominated by natural hydrology and shifting riverbanks. The absence of roads or established trails highlights the reliance on these waterways for navigation and access during this era of Alaskan history.
