1956 Map of Beaver A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Beaver Creek meanders through a dense network of wetlands and oxbow lakes in this mid-century portrait of the Alaskan interior. The landscape is defined by its transition from the low-lying marshy plains of Big Meadow and Jefferson Meadows to the rising terrain of the southern half. A solitary Winter Trail cuts across the northwestern corner, representing the vital seasonal transportation routes used when the ground was frozen. Human presence is sparse but precisely noted, with several Cabins and isolated Cabin sites situated near water sources like Jefferson Creek and Little Beaver Lake. The map details a complex hydrography including Shallow Lake, Rat Lake, and the New Halfway Lakes, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before modern development or significant climate shifts altered the landscape.
