About this map

The Little Crazy Mountains dominate the southern half of this interior Alaskan landscape, providing a topographical contrast to the expansive wetlands of the Yukon Flats to the north. Established within the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge, the area is defined by a dense network of braided waterways and glacial features, including Thermokarst Creek and Bluff Creek.

Evidence of human activity is sparse in this 1950s-era survey, noted primarily by a lone Cabin situated near the marshlands of the flats. The map documents a complex drainage system where Big Creek winds through the foothills, while major arteries like Preacher Cr and Birch Cr frame the northern boundaries. This sheet preserves the wilderness character of the region as it was recorded during the mid-century aerial surveys.
