1950 Map of Bendeleben A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Bendeleben Mountains dominate this high-latitude Alaskan landscape, casting a network of drainages that flow into the marshy flats of the Fish River. Mapped by the Army Map Service using 1950 aerial photography, the terrain is defined by its isolation and the logistical realities of mid-century exploration. The presence of the Telephone Trail and the noted Telephone Creek (Approximate Alignment) suggest a corridor of communication and transit through the Seward Peninsula interior. To the south, Omilak Mountain anchors a series of mineral-rich watercourses, including the North Fork Omilak Creek and South Fork Omilak Creek. This survey captures a moment where much of the land remained unchecked in the field, with labels like Lava Creek and Granite Creek hinting at the underlying geology of this northern wilderness.
