1954 Map of Candle B-2

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this remote Alaskan interior, separating the drainage systems of the Seward Peninsula in the mid-1950s. The landscape is defined by its watercourses, with the South Fork Buckland River flowing northward in the eastern sector, while the headwaters of Kilusiktok Creek and Kilusuk Creek carve through the western ridges. These waterways served as the primary transit corridors for hunters and surveyors in an era when the land remained largely unsurveyed by the Bureau of Land Management.
