1954 Map of Candle C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Buckland stands as the primary settlement within this mid-century Alaskan landscape, situated where the braided waters of the South Fork Buckland River and the Middle Fork Buckland River converge. The topography is defined by the sinuous path of Kalusuk Creek and Little Kalusuk Creek, which drain the surrounding highlands including the prominent peak at Garnet. This 1954 survey, based on aerial photographs taken by the Usc&GS and Usce, illustrates a remote river-oriented geography prior to major modern developments. The Kateel River Meridian serves as the primary reference for these unsurveyed lands, where the placement of the settlement at the river fork reflects the historic importance of interior water transport for coastal access in the Northwest Arctic.
