1971 Map of Chandalar D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The North Fork Chandalar River dominates this portion of the Alaskan interior, carving a path through high elevations in the early 1970s. This survey, compiled from 1970 aerial photography, depicts a landscape defined almost entirely by its drainage systems, including Quartz Creek and Mathews River. A significant geopolitical marker, the North Boundary Fairbanks Meridian, runs through the upper section of the map, delineating land divisions in this unpopulated region. The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of the territory, where transport and travel were likely dictated by the seasonal flow of water bodies like Big Spruce Creek and Robert Creek. The land lines shown represent unsurveyed locations predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management, reflecting the ongoing process of mapping the Alaskan frontier.
