1952 Map of Russian Mission C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Kuskokwim River defines the southern reach of this landscape, its wide channel braiding through a low-lying basin filled with hundreds of small ponds and marshy wetlands. To the north, the Portage Mountains rise sharply, providing a distinct topographic boundary against the alluvial plains. This mid-century survey illustrates the vital role of seasonal transport in the Alaska interior, specifically showing the Winter Trail cutting through the foothills north of the river. A lone Cabin situated along a river bend east of the mountain slopes represents the only named structure in this wilderness, serving as a primary point of reference for navigation or shelter. This 1952 record emphasizes the Seward Meridian land lines as predetermined but unsurveyed, capturing the region during a period of early photogrammetric mapping before modern infrastructure altered the river corridor.
