1951 Map of Circle D-6

About this map

Victoria Mountain anchors the southwestern quadrant of this 1951 aerial survey, where the drainages of the Yukon-Koyukuk region form a complex network of meandering waterways. The topography is defined by the significant confluence of Victoria Creek and Beaver Creek, with the latter winding through expansive lowlands characterized by seasonal swamps and smaller tributaries like Sand Creek and Yellow Creek. Human presence is exceptionally sparse in this interior landscape, marked only by a solitary Cabin located north of Glacier Creek. This document serves as a detailed study of a remote watershed before significant modern development, capturing the natural drainage patterns of the Moose Creek and Big Creek systems as they appeared in the early 1950s.
