1954 Map of Candle A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Inglutalik River carves a winding path through this portion of the Seward Peninsula, captured during a 1954 survey. Flowing from the northeast toward the west, the river defines a landscape characterized by deep drainage basins and significant elevation changes, with several peaks reaching over 2,000 feet. In the southeastern corner, the headwaters of the Ungalik River emerge, flowing toward the southern boundary of the quadrangle. This mid-century map, based on aerial photography from the late 1950s, reflects an era of remote topographic mapping in Alaska where the focus was on the raw geography of the terrain. The map confirms a lack of permanent settlements, roads, or trails at the time, leaving only the primary watercourses as the named landmarks for navigation or geological study in this uninhabited interior region.
