1952 Map of Circle B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Steese Highway cuts through the high interior landscape, providing a vital transit corridor through the drainage systems of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The survey centers on the significant divide at Twelvemile Summit, where the road follows the contours of the high ground between the headwaters of McKinley Creek and the valley of Twelvemile Creek. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with the North Fork Birch Creek joining the main stem of Birch Creek in a network of winding waterways that include Harrington Creek and Fryingpan Creek. Industrial activity is evident near the eastern edge of the map, where a Placer Mine is situated along Butte Creek. This mid-century survey captures the early infrastructure of the Alaskan interior, showing isolated Cabin locations and surveying benchmarks like VABM 3375 Birch that served as critical anchors for mapping this expansive territory.
