1972 Map of Coleen D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Alaska Yukon borderlands are defined by the remote high-latitude terrain of this early 1970s survey. The landscape is dominated by the upper reaches of Strangle Woman Creek and the meandering path of Potato Creek as they drain through the mountainous North Boundary of the Fairbanks Meridian. This map documents a wilderness at the far eastern edge of the state, where the international boundary between the United States and Canada is the primary human-imposed line across a trackless geography. Topography here was derived from photogrammetric methods from 1972 aerial photographs, capturing the drainage patterns and peaks of the Coleen quadrangle before modern digital mapping. The absence of roads, trails, or settlements reflects the extreme isolation of this arctic environment.
