1952 Map of Russian Mission C-8

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Yukon River carves a complex course through this portion of the Alaska wilderness, where the landscape is defined by the shifting waters of Middle Slough and Cross Slough. Settlement patterns in the early 1950s reflect a reliance on these waterways, with small outposts like Ohogamut and clusters of Cabins situated along the riverbanks. Near the seasonal encampment of Ohogamut, a Cem and the prominent Roundabout Mountain serve as local landmarks in an otherwise fluid environment of islands and bars like Blade Island and Willow Island. North of the main river channel, Engineer Lake and Engineer Creek drain the upland terrain. This survey also records a Winter Trail cutting through the lowlands, providing a terrestrial link between the river camps of Toklik and Kakamut when the waters and marshes freeze over.
