1954 Map of Candle A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Traverse Peak stands as the primary landmark in this remote Alaskan interior landscape, where the headwaters of several critical drainage systems converge. This mid-century survey illustrates a period before significant modern infrastructure reached this portion of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, showing a wilderness defined entirely by its natural hydrology. The Kateel River flows through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, while the Ungalik River and Caribou Creek carve distinct paths through the western and central elevations. The topographic detail captured by photogrammetric methods between 1952 and 1955 provides an essential record of the natural terrain and watercourses in their mid-century state.
