1956 Map of Charley River B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Nation River winds through this remote borderland in the mid-1950s, serving as a primary corridor through the high-latitude terrain of the eastern interior. This survey, based on aerial photography from the early fifties, documents a landscape largely shaped by its hydrology, where significant tributaries like Tindir Creek and Ettrain Creek feed the main river system. In the northern reaches, the Step Mountains rise above the surrounding basin, while a distinct area labeled Jungle suggests a pocket of unusually dense or tangled vegetation. This map captures the region before extensive modern development, noting only the unsurveyed land lines and the international boundary between the United States and Canada. The presence of features such as Waterfall Creek and Hard Luck Creek hints at the difficult travel and natural obstacles encountered by early surveyors and trappers working these eastern drainages.
