1952 Map of Russian Mission D-7

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Yukon River dominates this mid-century interior landscape, winding past a series of large islands and dramatic landmarks like Bareface Bluff. During the early 1950s, the region supported specialized activities including extraction at the Kako Mine and transport at Kako Landing. A critical transportation link is documented via the Yukon-Kuskokwim Portage, alongside a Winter Trail that provided seasonal access across the frozen terrain. Evidence of shifting habitation is clear, with Russian Mission marked as abandoned, while nearby Nunvotchuk and Nunvotchuk Lake remain identified settlements. The geography is defined by the Kaiyuh Mountains to the north and a complex network of waterways, including the East Fork Kuyukutuk River and South Fork Kuyukutuk River, which drain into the main river valley.
