1970 Map of Beaver C-6

About this map

Hodzana River meanders across this interior landscape, defining the central drainage system of the region during the early 1970s. The terrain is dominated by the prominent elevation of Dall Mountain, which stands as a significant landmark in the southeast corner of the quadrangle. This 1:63,360 scale survey provides a detailed look at the unpeopled wilderness before modern development or infrastructure reached this portion of the Fairbanks Meridian. The Dall River also cuts through the southern reaches, highlighting the intricate network of waterways that governed travel and seasonal movement in this remote area. Prepared through photogrammetric methods from 1970 aerial photography, the map reflects a period of systematic federal documentation by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Geological Survey to establish township and range lines in unsurveyed territory.
