1952 Map of Russian Mission D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Paimiut sits on the banks of the Yukon River at a point where the massive waterway splits into a complex network of channels and backwaters. This 1952 field-annotated survey documents a landscape dominated by the river's hydrology, featuring Summer Slough and Paimiut Slough which wrap around the significant landmass of Great Paimiut Island. To the north and south, the terrain rises sharply into the Paimiut Hills and the Portage Mountains, providing a stark topographical contrast to the marshy lowlands of the river valley. A notable overland route, the Winter Trail, cuts across the northern landscape near Tabernacle Mtn, indicating the vital seasonal transportation patterns of the Alaska Interior during the mid-20th century before more permanent infrastructure reached this region.
