1956 Map of Black River C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Salmon Fork Black River dominates the southern reaches of this interior Alaskan landscape, characterized by a complex network of meandering oxbows and marshy lowlands. To the north, the terrain rises into significant elevations drained by the winding Kevinjik Creek, which flows through a distinct valley before joining the larger river system. A single Cabin in the northwest corner represents the only named human structure, highlighting the extreme isolation of this subarctic region during the mid-1950s. The presence of Cow and Calf Moose Lake provides a specific landmark for navigators and hints at the local fauna that historically supported subsistence hunters and trappers in this roadless wilderness.
