1952 Map of Unalakleet B-4

About this map

The Anvik River dominates the eastern drainage of this interior Alaskan landscape, characterized by complex river systems and unnamed peaks. Recorded by the Army Map Service during the early 1950s, the terrain reveals the natural watercourses that defined regional travel before modern infrastructure. To the west, the South River cuts through the high ground, while Otter Creek meanders through the southern reaches. This era of mapping relied heavily on 1951 aerial photography, capturing the raw geography of the Unalakleet region at a time when no roads or trails were yet established across these particular ridges and valleys.
