1952 Map of Unalakleet A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Yukon River dominates this landscape as it flows through the interior of Alaska, flanked by complex waterways like the Shageluk Slough and Sucker Creek. Mapped in the early 1950s, this area shows the essential transportation routes of the era, most notably a Winter Trail cutting across the lowlands. The presence of isolated Cabin and Cabins sites along the riverbanks reflects a remote pattern of subsistence and seasonal residence common to this portion of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. Large features such as Fox Point Island break the wide course of the river, while smaller tributaries like Saint Joe Creek and Simon Creek drain the surrounding hills. This survey provides a record of the river's precise channels and drainage patterns before later environmental changes, capturing a moment when travel relied heavily on seasonal trails and the river system itself.
