1952 Map of Circle D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Little Crazy Mountains dominate the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, rising above a network of drainages in the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The map reveals a transition from the structured relief of the highlands to the expansive marshlands and lake-dotted terrain of the northern reaches. This wilderness character is reinforced by the near-total absence of permanent infrastructure, with only a solitary Cabin noted along a drainage leading toward the wetland flats. The hydrology of the area is defined by significant watercourses, including Preacher Cr in the northwest and Birch Cr in the northeast, while Big Creek carves a path through the central valley. This 1952 data, compiled from aerial photography, captures the interior before any roads or trails were established, documenting the natural state of the Alaskan bush during the post-war era.
