1956 Map of Beaver B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Long Ridge dominates the northern elevation of this interior Alaskan landscape, providing a stark topographical contrast to the marshy lowlands that occupy the southern half of the quadrangle. This mid-century survey illustrates an environment defined by water and drainage, where the West Fork of The Forks meanders through a dense network of unnamed ponds and wetlands. Notable named water bodies such as Echoing Lake, Savayeit Lake, and the distinctly named Tishdogatumina Lake are situated within this complex aquatic system. The map reflects a period before significant human infrastructure reached this portion of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, showing no roads or established trails. Instead, it presents a raw study of Arctic terrain, from the high contours of the ridge to the intricate hydrologic patterns of the muskeg and thaw lakes below.
