1972 Map of Coleen D-4

About this map

The North Boundary Fairbanks Meridian cuts across the northern reaches of this Alaskan interior terrain, a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways and high-elevation relief. Mapping conducted in the early 1970s via photogrammetric methods captures the untouched hydrology of the region, where Joanna Creek and Patricia Creek wind through deep valleys. This area remains distinctly wild, lacking roads or permanent settlements at the time of the survey. The presence of Khayyam Creek and the smaller Omar Cr indicates a drainage system that feeds into larger basins, while a significant unnamed Pass suggests a natural transit corridor between the peaks. This 1972 data provides a baseline for the northern Yukon territory before modern environmental changes, emphasizing the remote character of the Fairbanks Meridian borderlands.
