1950 Map of Bendeleben A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Mount Bendeleben dominates this 1950 topographical survey, serving as the high point for the namesake Bendeleben Mountains in the Second Judicial Division of Alaska. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems feeding into the Niukluk River and the Libby River. These watercourses reveal the complex hydraulic character of the Seward Peninsula, with numerous tributaries such as West Fork Libby River, Hash Cr, and Kingsley Cr carving through the terrain. The absence of roads or established settlements on the map underscores the isolation of this region at mid-century, where geographical navigation relied entirely on landmarks like Belt Creek and American Creek. Researchers will find a pristine representation of the Alaskan interior as it was documented through multiplex aerial photography just after World War II.
