About this map

Kuskokwim River serves as the central artery for this remote Alaskan interior, where trade and transport relied heavily on the water and a network of trading posts and riverside villages in 1950. The map records a series of commercial hubs essential to the era, including McDonalds Trading Post, Mellicks Trading Post, and Parks Trading Post. Historically significant landmarks like the Kolmakof Fort Ruins near Kolmakof Lake provide a window into earlier eras of Russian and American contact in the region.
