1951 Map of Candle D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Candle stands as the primary hub of activity in this remote region of the Seward Peninsula, appearing here as it was surveyed in the mid-twentieth century. The landscape is defined by the winding Kiwalik River and the complex drainage of the Kiwalik Lagoon, where numerous channels like the North Channel and Middle Channel meet the tide. This map documents a specialized extractive landscape, evidenced by Mine Tailings and the extensive Mud Ditch and Candle Ditch systems, which suggest the scale of hydraulic mining operations in the area.
