1956 Map of Charley River B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Yukon River flows through the southwestern corner of this 1950s interior landscape, a region defined by its vast drainage systems and surveyor benchmarks. High points in the terrain are marked by various triangulation stations, including VABM Kah 2985, VABM 3118 Witch, and VABM 2931 Hard. Isolated cabins along the watercourses suggest the seasonal trapping and hunting patterns of the mid-century, while the network of the Kandik River and Charley River dominates the northern half of the sheet. Natural geological curiosities are noted as well, such as a named Pingo, reflecting the permafrost-driven geography of the eastern Alaska interior. The map also traces the winding courses of smaller tributaries like Hard Luck Creek and Biederman Creek as they feed into the larger Nation River system.
