1956 Map of Charley River C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Little Black River dominates this interior Alaskan landscape, shown here as it wound through the Yukon-Koyukuk region during the mid-1950s. The survey, compiled from aerial photography taken in 1951 and 1954, reveals a complex network of wetlands and oxbow lakes surrounding the river's path. This detailed topography highlights the intricate drainage patterns of the valley floor, contrasted against the unnamed ridges and peaks that define the surrounding high ground. Because the area remained largely unsurveyed on the ground at the time of publication, the map relies on these photogrammetric methods to document the wilderness before modern infrastructure or major settlement reached this portion of the Charley River quadrangle.
