1955 Map of Candle C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Buckland River meanders through the northeast corner of this mid-century topographic study, defining the primary drainage for the surrounding highlands. Surveyed in the 1950s using photogrammetric methods from aerial photography, the map reveals a remote landscape of significant relief, where deep valleys are carved by watercourses like Masukatalik Creek and Flakluk Creek. This area of the Kateel River Meridian was largely unsurveyed at the time of the 1955 field annotation, with land lines representing predetermined but unmarked locations according to the Bureau of Land Management. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of tributaries, including Kaluayik Creek and Dachik Creek, which flow through unnamed ridges. This record is a clear representation of the region before modern development, focusing entirely on the natural hydrography and elevation markers that guided early Alaskan land management and resource exploration.
