1970 Map of Beaver D-5

About this map

Granite Fork Hodzana River dominates the lower landscape of this 1970 Alaskan interior survey, cutting through the high elevation terrain of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The map captures a vast, roadless wilderness characterized by complex drainage patterns, where tributaries like Lansing Creek and Trail Cr carve through the northern hills. Compiled using photogrammetric methods from 1969 aerial photography, the sheet displays the meticulous topography of the northern interior before modern development. Notable are the predetermined land lines established by the Bureau of Land Management, which represent unsurveyed and unmarked locations across the township and range grid, reflecting the early administrative efforts to organize this remote territory.
