1958 Map of Tyonek B-3

About this map

Theodore River and the Lewis River flow through this expansive coastal landscape in the late 1950s, revealing a region defined by its waterway networks and seasonal access points. The presence of a Winter Landing Strip and isolated outposts like Grant's Cabin underscore the remote nature of the terrain during this era, where travel was dictated by the freeze and thaw of the Alaskian wilderness. To the south, the Chedatna Lakes and the Beluga River drainage system dominate the lowlands, while smaller tributaries such as Pretty Creek and Olson Creek branch through the timbered flats. The map also captures a solitary Mine and Wolverine Creek in the northern reaches, providing a clear record of the early industrial and subsistence-based footprint in the area before more modern development reached these shores.
