1954 Map of Circle A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Steese Highway cuts through the northern reaches of this Alaskan interior landscape, following the course of the Chatanika River as it winds through the hills. This mid-century survey documents the critical infrastructure of the era, notably the Davidson Ditch, a massive hydraulic mining conduit that once carried water across the rugged terrain to support gold operations. The drainage patterns are meticulously detailed, showing the intricate network of the Little Chena River and its numerous tributaries such as Anaconda Creek and Caribou Creek. High points like Twin Buttes provide orientation in a wilderness marked by distinctive local names like First Pup, Second Pup, and Frozenfoot Cr. A lone Cabin near the river highlights the sparse but present human footprint in this remote region during the 1950s.
