1954 Map of Bethel C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Kuskokwim Mountains dominate this 1954 survey of the Alaskan interior, revealing a landscape defined by its drainages and mountain peaks. The Salmon River flows through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, while several significant tributaries like Swift Creek, Clear Creek, and Quartz Creek carve through the high terrain. This map captures the area before modern infrastructure arrived, noting that no roads or trails existed in the region at the time of the survey. A notable point of interest is the Quicksilver label in the southeast corner, indicating mineral potential or a named locality in this remote stretch of the Seward Meridian. The topographic data, based on 1957 aerial photography and 1954 field annotations, shows an unsurveyed wilderness where land lines were predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management rather than marked on the ground.
