1970 Map of Beaver C-4

About this map

Lone Mountain dominates the central landscape of this interior Alaska survey, rising above a network of winding waterways and unsurveyed land lines. The Hodzana River snakes across the northern portion of the quadrangle, characterized by tight, recursive oxbow loops that indicate a slow-moving, mature river system through the valley. This 1970 aerial survey, published by the Geological Survey, documents a region largely devoid of permanent settlements, showing only a solitary Cabin near the confluence of Granite Fork. The topography is defined by the drainage basins of the Mud Fork and The East Fork, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before any significant modern development or road infrastructure reached this part of the Brooks Range foothills.
