1951 Map of Anchorage D-8

About this map

Kashwitna River and its major tributaries, including the North Fork and Little Willow Creek, dominate this Alaskan landscape as it was documented in the early 1950s. The area is characterized by an intricate network of waterways like Rogers Creek and Peters Creek flowing through terrain marked by surveyed peaks such as VABM 3168 Willow and VABM Peters 1231. Human presence is minimal, defined primarily by a remote Cabin and infrastructure suited for the environment. A primitive Road and a Sled Road near Purches Creek provide the only land-based transport routes through the river basins. This survey captures a moment before significant modern development, showing the natural drainage patterns of Willow Creek and Deception Creek as they existed mid-century.
