1956 Map of Tanana D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Tanana-Allakaket Winter Trail cuts a north-south path through this mid-century interior landscape, serving as a vital overland link across the unsurveyed wilderness of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. This 1956 survey, compiled from early 1950s aerial photography, documents a complex network of waterways dominated by the meandering Melozitna River and the prominent Sithylemenkat Lake to the south. The terrain is defined by the Slokhenjikh Hills, where elevations rise above the surrounding wetlands and creek beds. A solitary Cabin situated along the lower reach of Nethkahatie Creek reflects the sparse, seasonal human presence in a territory largely governed by the rhythms of the water and the trail. The map captures the hydrography of the era with precision, including the courses of Kodosin Nolitna Creek and Slokhenjikh Creek as they drain the high country.
