About this map

Unalakleet (Native Reservation) anchors the northern coastline of Norton Sound, where the Unalakleet River meets the sea. This mid-century survey illustrates a remote landscape defined by the drainage basins of the Anvik River and the mighty Yukon River, which winds through the eastern portion of the map past Blackburn and Simon Pt Cabins. The coastal areas are marked by significant landmarks like the Tolukowuk Bluffs and Klikitarik Mtn, while a long Winter Trail provides an overland link between the small coastal outposts.

Resource extraction and local geography are recorded in details such as the Williams Mine near the northern boundary and the McLeod Prospect tucked into the Kaiyuh Mountains. The terrain transitions from the volcanic signs of Lava flows to the high peaks of Iprogalet Mountain and Mt Mc Donald, reflecting the complex geology of the Yukon-Koyukuk region during a period of transition in the Alaskan interior.
