1956 Map of Tanana D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Slokhenjikh Hills dominate the interior landscape of this 1950s Alaskan territory, marking a high divide between several complex drainage systems. To the west, the Melozitna River meanders through a broad valley, joined by tributaries such as Sithdandit Creek and Tobatokh Creek. The region is defined by its seasonal mobility and remote outposts, evidenced by the presence of a lone Cabin and the Tanana-Allakaket Winter Trail, which cuts across the central wetlands and hills to connect distant settlements. The landscape transitions from high ridgelines into vast marshy lowlands surrounding Norseman Lake and the braided reaches of Slokhenjikh Creek. These features illustrate the traditional winter transport corridors used in the Yukon-Koyukuk region before more permanent road infrastructure was established.
