1955 Map of Candle

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Candle and Buckland anchor this mid-century survey of the Seward Peninsula and surrounding interior, where the Continental Divide winds between the headwaters of major river systems. The landscape is defined by its drainage basins, from the Kiwalik Lagoon in the northwest to the wide reach of the Inglutalik River and Koyuk River in the south. These waterways were the primary arteries for movement, supplemented by a Tractor Trail and a Telephone Line that underscore the era's logistical challenges in the Alaskan bush.
