1950 Map of Candle C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Kiwalik River meanders through a vast network of wetlands and tributaries in this mid-century survey of the Seward Peninsula interior. This landscape is defined by its seasonal access routes, including an approximate alignment of a Winter Trail and a Tractor Trail that navigate the difficult terrain between water bodies like Hunter Lake. These routes highlight the logistical challenges of the era, where movement depended heavily on the frozen state of the ground or specialized machinery. To the east, the elevation rises toward Weather Ridge, while numerous small streams such as Gold Creek, Quartz Creek, and Bonanza Creek drain the surrounding hills. The nomenclature of these creeks reflects the prospecting history of the region, where miners searched for deposits along the remote watersheds of the Linda Creek and Eldorado Creek.
