1971 Map of Wiseman B-2

About this map

The North Fork Koyukuk River and the Glacier River converge in this high-latitude Alaskan landscape, creating a complex network of waterways and gravel bars. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the terrain is characterized by the junction of numerous drainages such as Bluecloud Creek and Mascot Creek. Human presence is sparse and functional, centered on seasonal transit and subsistence. A Winter Trail cuts through the northeast corner past the Prospect Cabins, while a remote Landing Strip provides essential aerial access to the interior. Notable navigational hazards and landmarks include the Squaw Rapids along the river and Delay Pass to the north, illustrating the challenges of travel in the Yukon-Koyukuk region before modern infrastructure reached these drainages.
