Transportation

During the early 20th century, the transportation in this area was usually by boat and by dog team.

In the summer, people usually traveled by wooden boat, and sometimes by sail boat, to move up and down the Yukon. When summer was here, stern wheel ferry boats plied the Yukon carrying cargo to the villages on the Yukon River.

In the winter, dog teams were the main form of transportation. The dog teams consisted of usually 7 dogs per team. The first snow machine seen in Marshall was in the early 1940's. It was an Arctic Cat Panther. The people who had them first were Don Hunter, Morris Tee, and Willie Fitka. The first mailplane that came to Marshall was seen in the middle 1930's.

Today the forms of transportation are pickup trucks, ATV's, snow machines, boats, and airplanes.

There are more mailplanes that come in to Marshall now than ever before. Don Hunter has operated the mailplane contract since the mailplanes started to come to Marshall back in the 1940's.

In Marshall there are about 5 miles of road which stretch between the village and the airport. There is also a network of winter trails between Marshall and Pilot Station and Marshall and Russian Mission.
