1950 Map of Bendeleben D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Inmachuk River and Kigrua River anchor this remote landscape in the Northwest Arctic, captured through photogrammetric methods from aerial photographs taken in 1949 and 1950. The map reveals a region defined by its waterway network, including the Burnt River and numerous tributaries such as Arizona Creek and California Creek. Evidence of aviation and early resource exploration is found at the Utica Creek Landing Strip and a solitary Mine located along the Inmachuk. Small isolated Cabin and Cabins structures are noted near the landing strip, suggesting seasonal use or subsistence bases in this roadless area of the Seward Peninsula. The intricate drainage patterns of Mystic Creek and Goldbug Creek provide a detailed look at the hydrology of the Bendeleben quadrangle before modern development altered the landscape.
