1952 Map of Unalakleet

About this map

Unalakleet sits at the mouth of the Unalakleet River along Norton Sound, serving as a critical coastal hub where the Kaltag Portage begins its overland route toward the interior. This 1952 survey documents the complex delta and mountain systems of western Alaska, where the mighty Yukon River carves a massive path through the Kaiyuh Mountains. The landscape is defined by its seasonal transport corridors, including a prominent Winter Trail stretching across the tundra toward the coastal bluffs.
