1964 Map of Candle

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Candle and Buckland anchor this mid-century look at the Seward Peninsula and surrounding backcountry, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of river systems and gold-bearing drainages. A notable Tractor Trail provides a overland link through the interior, connecting remote reaches to the coast at Kiwalik Lagoon. The map details the drainage patterns of the Koyuk River and the Inglutalik River, with specialized sites like Dime Landing and Haycock marking the sparse human footprint in this vast interior. High ground is represented by prominent landmarks such as Granite Mountain and Traverse Peak, while the countless named creeks—including Gold Run and Coal Creek—point toward the region's historic mining interests and resource extraction. This survey reflects the era of early aviation and mechanical transport in the Alaskan Arctic.
