1956 Map of Tanana D-1

About this map

The Yukon River flows through the southeastern corner of this Alaskan wilderness, providing a primary navigation artery through an otherwise roadless interior. The landscape is defined by the significant drainages of the Ray River and Big Salt River, which weave across the northern and central portions of the quadrangle. Human presence is marked by isolated Cabins and unidentified Ruins along the banks of the Yukon, suggesting the survival and movement patterns of early hunters, trappers, or indigenous residents before the era of modern development.
