1956 Map of Beaver B-5

About this map

Hodzilana Ridge rises above the expansive landscape of the Yukon Flats in this 1956 survey of the interior. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hydrologic features within the National Wildlife Refuge, where numerous unnamed ponds and sloughs surround significant water bodies like Tishdogatumina Lake and Echoing Lake. The intricate drainage pattern is further characterized by the meandering path of the West Fork of The Forks, which cuts through the southern lowlands. These topographic details, based on 1955 aerial photography, capture the natural state of the wilderness before later revisions, providing a clear record of the area's complex marshlands and minor elevation changes at Savayeit Lake.
