1950 Map of Candle A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Haycock and the surrounding wilderness of the Seward Peninsula are defined by the network of water and seasonal transport routes visible in this 1950 survey. The settlement at Haycock sits near a noted Gold Mine, illustrating the persistent mineral interests that shaped interior Alaska during this era. Movement through the territory relied on the Winter Trail and a Landing Strip near Dime Landing, reflecting a landscape where aviation and seasonal sled routes were more practical than permanent roads. The intricate drainage of the Koyuk River and its tributaries, including Peace River and Dime Creek, dominate the topography, interspersed with benchmark locations like Rabbit VABM 890. Remote Cabins scattered along these waterways suggest the isolated, subsistence-based lifestyle of the mid-century period.
