1952 Map of Russian Mission D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Yukon River dominates this mid-century landscape as it cuts through the Ilvit Mountains, creating a complex network of seasonal watercourses and shifting banks. Along the northern shore, the Winter Trail connects seasonal sites such as Dogfish Village and Tuckers Fish Camp, illustrating the specialized riverine economy of the era. The terrain shifts from the high elevations of Mount Chiniklik and Mount Ewaklalik to the low, braided wetlands surrounding Tuckers Slough. To the south, the Talboksok River meanders toward the settlement of Talboksok, showing a vast expanse of delta-like terrain. This 1952 record, based on 1951 aerial photography, documents the subsistence landscape before modern infrastructure, where travel was dictated by the river's flow and the seasonal freezing of the tundra.
