1955 Map of Candle

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Candle and Buckland anchor this mid-century survey of the Seward Peninsula and adjacent inland regions, illustrating a landscape defined by its river systems and early aviation infrastructure. The map documents several Landing Areas and a network of seasonal routes, including a prominent Tractor Trail cutting through the interior towards Granite Mountain. Waterways like the Kiwalik River and the three forks of the Buckland River serve as the primary geographical markers, while more specialized features such as a Reindeer Corral and various Ditch systems point to the local subsistence and mining economies. Toward the southern extent, the Koyuk River and the settlement of Haycock indicate the spread of activity across the tundra, with Dime Landing serving as a remote waypoint near the Inglutalik River.
