1952 Map of Circle C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Preacher Creek and its many tributaries dominate this interior Alaskan landscape as it was documented in the early 1950s. The drainage network is intricately detailed, showing the North Fork Preacher Creek winding through the northern reaches while the Costa Fork Preacher Creek and Bachelor Creek converge in the southeast. High elevation survey points such as VABM 4065 McKinley provide essential vertical control in this unpopulated wilderness area. This 1952 field-annotated study reveals a landscape defined entirely by its hydrology and relief, before modern infrastructure reached this part of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. Small waterways like Quartz Creek, Convert Creek, and Mc Kinley Creek underscore the area's geological complexity, offering a baseline for environmental historians and researchers of Alaskan interior water systems.
