1958 Map of Tyonek

About this map

Tyonek and Old Tyonek stand along the western shore of Cook Inlet, anchoring a landscape where the river-fed Susitna Flats meet the high peaks of the Tordrillo Mountains. This survey reveals a mid-century Alaska transition, capturing the Tyonek Indian Reservation and small coastal outposts like Beluga and Ladd before modern infrastructure arrived. The network of the Susitna River and its tributaries, including the Yentna River and Skwentna River, provided the primary corridors for movement, evidenced by the Winter Trail stretching toward the interior.
