1970 Map of Wiseman A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The John River meanders through this interior Alaska landscape, defining a wide valley corridor flanked by prominent summits like Threetime Mountain and Button Mountain. This 1970 survey captures the remote character of the region, where seasonal transport is marked by the presence of a Winter Road and a Winter Trail cutting across the lowlands of Death Valley. Human presence is sparse, indicated only by small structures such as Ninemile Cabin near the shores of Ninemile Lake and another isolated Cabin further north. The drainage patterns of Timber Creek and Death Valley Creek emphasize the hydraulic complexity of the terrain as it transitions from the high peaks of Gilroy Mountain down toward Goose Slough. These markings reflect an era of Alaskan history centered on subsistence and seasonal access before more permanent infrastructure reached this part of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
