1955 Map of Candle A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Koyuk River and the Inglutalik River dominate this mid-century topographic study of the Seward Peninsula interior. Based on 1955 aerial photography, the map illustrates a landscape shaped by vast drainage systems and seasonal waterways. The complex meandering path of the Koyuk River in the west contrasts with the braided channels of the Inglutalik River in the southeast, revealing the hydrological patterns of the Alaskan tundra before modern development. Other significant water features include the Tipooktulearuk River and the East Fork, along with the localized label of Alameda in the southwestern quadrant. This survey, which includes land lines predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management, captures the region in a strictly natural state, devoid of established roads or permanent settlements at the time of the field annotation.
