1951 Map of Circle D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Victoria Mountain dominates the southwestern portion of this interior Alaskan landscape, serving as a primary drainage divide for the surrounding hydrological network. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the map reveals a wilderness defined by a complex system of waterways, most notably Beaver Creek, which winds across the southeastern quadrant. The presence of a solitary Cabin near the confluence of Big Creek and East Fork in the northwest suggests the minimal human footprint of the era, likely associated with trapping or prospecting. The naming of features such as Glacier Creek, Squaw Creek, and Yellow Creek points to the early identification of prominent tributaries by explorers and land managers. The topographic data, photogrammetrically derived from 1951 aerial photography, captures the intricate drainages and unnamed ridges that characterize this portion of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before significant modern development.
