1954 Map of Circle C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The White Mountains dominate this 1950s interior landscape, characterized by high elevations and a complex drainage system within the Alaska-Fourth Judicial Division. This terrain is defined by the winding course of Preacher Creek and its many tributaries, including the North Fork Preacher Creek. In the southeastern portion of the map, the high point at VABM 4065 Mc Kinley provides a primary reference for the surrounding drainage basins of Mc Kinley Creek and Bachelor Creek. The absence of roads or permanent settlements in this mid-century survey reflects the wilderness character of the region, where seasonal movement likely followed the valley floors of American Creek and Quartz Creek. These topographical details, captured from 1951 aerial photography, show the natural state of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before more modern human alterations reached this part of the territory.
