1954 Map of Circle D-6

About this map

Victoria Mountain anchors the high ground of this interior Alaska wilderness, as documented during a mid-1950s survey of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The landscape is defined by an intricate drainage system, with the prominent Victoria Creek winding through the center of the sheet. Its flow is fed by several smaller tributaries including Squaw Creek, Sand Creek, and Glacier Creek, the latter of which suggests the glacial history that helped carve these valleys. This topographic study reflects the area in its raw state before major modern development, focusing entirely on the natural hydrology and elevation. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is marked by the course of Moose Creek, which continues the pattern of northern water systems that dominate this subarctic terrain. The absence of named settlements or roads underscores the isolation of the region at the time of the 1951 aerial photography.
