1956 Map of Charley River A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Charley River meanders through a network of high ridges and deep drainages in this mid-century survey of the Alaska interior. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where northern-flowing tributaries like Coal Creek and Sam Creek carve through the elevation. Landmarks like Twin Mountain and the survey station at VABM 3429 Fish provide fixed points of reference in a territory devoid of roads or settlements at the time of the 1956 field annotation. The drainage patterns of Highland Creek and Hanna Creek suggest a terrain where water movement is the primary architect of the land. This map captures the region in a purely natural state, documented through aerial photography taken in the early 1950s, before significant modern changes. It serves as a precise record of wilderness topography and unnamed ridges that characterize this portion of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
