1956 Map of Beaver A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Beaver Creek meanders through this interior Alaska landscape, defining a complex network of sloughs and oxbow lakes typical of the Yukon River watershed in the mid-1950s. The survey illustrates a terrain dominated by low-lying wetlands and meadows, such as Big Meadow and Jefferson Meadows, which are interspersed among dense clusters of small lakes like Rat Lake and the New Halfway Lakes. Human presence is represented by a few isolated Cabin and Cabins structures, likely used for seasonal trapping or subsistence. A primary transportation artery is the Winter Trail in the northwest, which provided critical overland access during the frozen months when the marshy ground became passable. The map also records the presence of the Beaver Sl, emphasizing the hydrological shifts that characterize this remote subarctic region.
