1950 Map of Bendeleben C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Continental Divide cuts through this high-latitude terrain, separating the drainage systems of the Seward Peninsula. To the north, the headwaters of Candle Creek and Eldorado Creek flow toward the Arctic, while the western slopes feed the Kugruk River. The landscape is defined by the stark peaks of Monument Mountain and Kiwalik Mountain, serving as prominent landmarks for navigation in a region without permanent settlements. An extensive system of water management is visible through the Candle Ditch, which snakes across the contours to support hydraulic operations. Traces of historical movement and exploration are preserved here in the form of a Winter Trail and a Tel Line that traverse the eastern slopes, illustrating the remote infrastructure required to link these gold-bearing drainages like Gold Run and Bonanza Creek to the wider world.
