1956 Map of Charley River C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Kandik (Charley Creek) flows through the southeastern portion of this terrain, marking a drainage system that defines much of the local topography. This 1956 survey, based on aerial photography from the mid-1950s, reveals a landscape dominated by high ridges and intricate water networks in a region where land lines remained unsurveyed and unmarked. In the northwestern corner, the Black River winds across the map, while Moose Creek cuts through the southwestern quadrant. Elevation is documented at significant peaks like VABM 2970 Bly, providing a critical data point for the Fairbanks Meridian. The lack of roads or established trails on this sheet emphasizes the undeveloped nature of this corner of Alaska during the post-war era, where movement was primarily dictated by river valleys and high-altitude survey points.
