1951 Map of Candle D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Buckland and the winding Buckland River anchor this mid-century topographic study of the Alaska landscape. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Clem Mountain and Sugar Top, which rise above a network of waterways including Kanik Creek, Koobuk Creek, and Duck Creek. A lone Cabin and a designated Tractor Trail in the southwest quadrant suggest the sparse but essential infrastructure of the era, likely supporting local subsistence or early resource exploration. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Fairhaven Creek and the Left Fork of Hunter Creek cutting through the contours. This survey, mapped by the Army Map Service and published by the Geological Survey, captures the area before modern developments, providing a clear record of the region's hydrography and landforms during a period of transition in the Alaskan interior.
