1956 Map of Coleen A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Chandalar Creek defines the low-lying drainage of this interior Alaskan landscape, characterized by an extensive system of wetlands and small water bodies. The terrain is part of a complex hydrologic network where seasonal waters and marshes transition into distinct basins such as Big Rat Lake and Mink Lake. Based on aerial photography from the mid-1950s, the map reveals a remote subarctic environment devoid of established roads or permanent settlements at the time of the survey. The intricate pattern of ponding and marshland suggests a fluctuating landscape shaped by permafrost and drainage cycles typical of the northern wilderness during the post-war era.
