1952 Map of Circle D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Beaver Creek winds through the northern interior of Alaska in this mid-century topographic record, showcasing a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and intricate fluvial patterns. The map area is dominated by the complex, meandering path of the river as it cuts through the terrain, flanked by numerous small lakes and ponds in the low-lying northern section. To the south, the topography shifts abruptly into the high ridges where Preacher Creek and the North Fork originate. This 1952 documentation, with minor revisions in 1971, captures a period when the Bureau of Land Management used predetermined locations for unsurveyed land lines. The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of the region, where the primary geographical markers are the watercourses that have shaped the land over centuries.
