1956 Map of Black River A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Little Black River winds through this interior Alaskan landscape, defining the eastern edge of a territory marked by complex hydrological patterns and countless unnamed small lakes and ponds. Based on 1955 aerial photography and 1956 field annotation, this survey captures a remote subarctic environment devoid of established roads or named settlements during the mid-1950s. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of drainages and elevations that suggest a land dominated by seasonal water movement and permafrost features. Researchers interested in the historical geography of the Yukon-Koyukuk region can trace the intricate meanders and oxbows of the Little Black River as they appeared before modern environmental shifts, providing a baseline for understanding this undisturbed wilderness.
