1955 Map of Candle A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Inglutalik River and its network of tributaries define this mid-century landscape in the Candle area of Alaska. Mapped in 1955 by the Army Map Service using photogrammetric methods, the terrain is characterized by the winding paths of the Nigikmigoon River and the smaller Tipooktulearyk. The absence of roads or trails throughout the entire quadrangle emphasizes the remote and untouched character of the Seward Peninsula's interior during this era. High points such as Inglutalik, Kulik, and Ukit rise above the drainage basins of Garryowen Creek and Little Bear Creek. This survey represents the land lines of the Kateel River Meridian as unsurveyed and unmarked locations predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management, providing a record of the region before any modern infrastructure development reached these reaches of the Alaskan wilderness.
