1970 Map of Bettles A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Interior Alaska's high-latitude wilderness is documented here through a series of nameless ridges and high peaks, mapped via aerial photography in the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by its lack of infrastructure, with the Bureau of Land Management establishing unsurveyed land lines across the Fairbanks Meridian. A single named prominence, Curly, stands out in the eastern portion of the sheet. This survey represents a moment when vast tracts of the Alaskan interior were being systematically charted but remained largely untouched by permanent settlements or trails, reflecting the raw state of the Koyukuk region before contemporary development patterns.
