1956 Map of Charley River B-3

About this map

The Yukon River carves a massive sweeping curve through the center of this 1950s Alaskan interior landscape, serving as the dominant geographic artery for the region. Just north of the river's bend, the prominent rise of Kathul Mountain stands as a landmark overlooking the confluence where the Kandik River enters from the north. The drainage pattern is dense, with numerous named tributaries like Washington Creek and Glenn Creek feeding the Yukon from the south, while the Kandik system is supported by Kandik Creek, Judge Creek, and Moore Creek. This mid-century survey captures the area in a purely wilderness state, showing a landscape defined entirely by its complex river systems and topography without any mapped roads or permanent settlements. The mapping of smaller drainages such as Sevenmile Creek and Threemile Creek provides critical detail for navigating this roadless river corridor.
