1955 Map of Candle C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Buckland River and its major tributary, the West Fork Buckland River, dominate this mid-century topographic record of the Alaskan interior. The map captures a landscape defined by seasonal movement and traditional land use, notably marked by a Reindeer Corral on the eastern bank of the West Fork. Small Cabins are scattered near the riverbanks, representing the essential shelters used by hunters and herders in this area of the Seward Peninsula. The drainage network is complex, including Masutakatalik Creek and Goose Creek, providing a detailed look at the hydrology before major modern alterations. Mapping by the Army Map Service in 1955 emphasizes the natural topography, using 50-foot contours to delineate the ridges and valleys surrounding the river system.
