1950 Map of Candle B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Continental Divide creates a prominent topographical spine across this section of the Seward Peninsula, captured by the Corps of Engineers and Usgs through aerial photography in the mid-twentieth century. The drainage patterns on either side of this divide define the landscape, with the north-flowing Kiwalik River collecting waters from tributaries like Wilson Creek. To the southwest, First Chance Creek cuts through the terrain, suggesting the small-scale drainage systems that characterize this unpopulated Alaskan wilderness. A surveyed Base Line runs east-to-west across the quadrangle, serving as a rare human-imposed geometry in a region where land lines remained unsurveyed and unmarked at the time of mapping.
