1952 Map of Unalakleet

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Unalakleet (Native Reservation) anchors this coastal landscape along the Norton Sound, where river networks and seasonal trails defined movement in the early 1950s. The inland geography is dominated by the massive Yukon River system, featuring numerous islands such as Alice Island, Blackburn Island, and Bullfrog Island. This era captures the intersection of traditional routes and modern infrastructure, evidenced by the Commercial Airport and Radio Towers near the coast, contrasted with the inland Winter Trail and Portage Trail. Resource extraction is noted at sites like the Williams Mine and McLeod Prospect, while the rugged interior is punctuated by landmarks like Mt McDonald and The Sisters. The coastal margin is deeply indented with coves and harbors, including Nunovulnuk Hbr and Shorty Cove, marking a transition from the marine environment to the heavily glaciated drainages of the Chiroskey River and Anvik River.
