1952 Map of Unalakleet A-1

About this map

Innoko River winds through this interior Alaskan landscape as it appeared in the early 1950s. The topography here is characterized by complex drainage patterns where the river and Sucker Creek cut through the hills. This 1952 survey, mapped by the Army Map Service using aerial photography from 1951, provides a detailed look at the watershed before modern development. The absence of named settlements, roads, or trails reflects the isolation of the Yukon-Koyukuk region during this period, leaving the natural hydrology of the river systems as the primary markers of the territory.
