1956 Map of Black River A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Grayling Fork Black River meanders across this interior landscape, a remote stretch of the Alaska-Yukon frontier documented in the late 1950s. The topography is defined by the elevation gains toward the international border, where peaks like Steamboat Mountain and Midnight Hill overlook the winding drainage systems of Tikan Creek. The map records the precise boundary line between the United States and Canada, as established by the International Boundary Commission. This survey captures a moment before modern infrastructure, showing an area devoid of named roads or settlements, where the terrain is governed entirely by the natural watercourses and the stark relief of the eastern Alaskan wilderness.
