1955 Map of Circle A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The East Fork Chena River and the Salcha River drainage systems define this interior Alaskan landscape, surveyed during the mid-1950s. This unpopulated expanse is characterized by high ridges and a series of branching waterways, including the descriptively named Big Windy Creek and Little Windy Gl. The survey provides a high-elevation point of reference at VABM 4476 Tip, while the lower elevations are marked by the convergence of Grizzly Creek, Wolf Creek, and Sheep Creek. The lack of roads or established trails at the time of this 1955 survey highlights the remote character of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, where travel was dictated almost entirely by the natural corridors of the river forks and mountain passes.
