1956 Map of Charley River A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Yukon River carves a massive path through the western portion of this terrain, meeting the Tatonduk River in a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and remote outposts. This 1950s-era survey captures a segment of the international border between the United States and Canada, showing the isolation of the Alaskan interior just before statehood. A small Cabin and the site of Millers Camp (Aban'd) provide evidence of human presence along the riverbanks, likely serving as stops for trappers or miners navigating these waterways. Inland, the topography rises sharply toward Three Castle Mountain and Jones Ridge. Watercourses like Hard Luck Creek and Cathedral Creek drain the high country, while a solitary Pingo is noted in the northern section, highlighting a distinctive permafrost landform characteristic of the subarctic environment.
