1952 Map of Unalakleet A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Yukon River dominates this mid-century Alaskan landscape, its wide channel cutting through the interior wilderness south of the South Boundary Kateel River Meridian. The map captures a complex system of waterways, most notably Shageluk Slough and the braided channels surrounding Fox Point Island. This 1952 record shows the area's early reliance on seasonal transport routes, including a Winter Trail that winds through the lowlands between Thompson Creek and the riverbanks. Human presence is limited to scattered outposts, with a simple Cabin and multiple Cabins marked near the junctions of Simon Creek and Saint Joe Creek. These sites represent the vital staging points for hunters, trappers, and travelers navigating the river system before the era of modern development, providing essential geographic data for the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
