1956 Map of Charley River C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Little Black River meanders across this interior landscape, defining the hydrological character of the Charley River C-5 quadrangle during the mid-century era. Surveyed using photogrammetric methods from aerial photography taken in 1951 and 1954, the map documents a vast, roadless terrain dominated by complex wetland patterns and winding waterways. The intricate path of the Little Black River and its associated marshlands indicates a low-relief, slow-draining environment typical of this portion of the Alaskan interior before modern development. This document serves as a primary record of the natural topography and undisturbed drainage systems as they existed in the years following World War II, showing a landscape devoid of human settlements or industrial infrastructure at the time of the 1956 field annotation.
