1970 Map of Wiseman A-1

About this map

The Middle Fork Koyukuk River and South Fork Koyukuk River dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, meeting at the western edge of the quadrangle. Steep terrain rises sharply from the riverbanks toward high points like Cathedral Mountain and Twelvemile Mountain, which are separated by Rosie Creek Pass. This 1970s survey, updated with 1975 photogrammetry, shows a wilderness primarily connected by seasonal routes such as the Winter Trail and several landing strips. A solitary Cabin situated along Slate Creek represents the sparse human footprint in this reach of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, while lower elevations are marked by complex drainage systems including Chapman Creek and the marshy expanses near Windy Arm.
