1956 Map of Charley River C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Yukon River dominates this interior Alaskan landscape, winding through a corridor of low-lying wetlands and complex braided channels. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, the map reveals a remote territory where human presence is nearly non-existent, marked only by a solitary Cabin situated along the northern bank. Tributaries such as Paddle Creek and Fourteenmile Creek drain the interior uplands, cutting through terrain that reaches prominent elevations like the VABM Yukon 18 2505 triangulation station. The mapping reflects the transition from early aerial photogrammetric methods to refined field annotations, capturing the hydrological patterns of the river valley before more modern development or environmental shifts. This specific quadrant illustrates the vast, unpeopled character of the Yukon-Koyukuk region during the post-war era of Alaskan territorial mapping.
