1971 Map of Chandalar C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Mathews River and Bettles River dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, which was mapped from 1970 aerial photography. The region's transport network relies heavily on nature and isolation, evidenced by a remote Landing Strip and scattered Cabin sites along the riverbanks. The drainage pattern is complex, with tributaries like Big Spruce Creek, Sheep Creek, and Eightmile Creek carving through the terrain around Horace Mountain. To the south, Twin Lakes and Big Lake provide significant water features in a region defined by its waterway-connected subsistence architecture. The presence of several Trails suggests established routes between drainage basins, while place names like Last Chance Creek and Big Jim Creek hint at the personal histories and prospecting efforts of the early 20th century.
