1955 Map of Candle

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Candle serves as the northern hub of this mid-century Alaskan survey, situated near the Kiwalik Lagoon and a series of landing areas along the Kiwalik River. The landscape is defined by the extensive drainage systems of the Buckland River and its multiple forks, alongside the Koyuk River to the south. This era of exploration and resource extraction is marked by the presence of a Telephone Line and a lengthy Tractor Trail cutting through the interior, connecting remote outposts like Haycock and Dime Landing.
