1956 Map of Eagle B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The North Fork Fortymile River and Fortymile River dominate this mid-century topographic record of the Alaskan interior. This era of surveying, based on aerial photography from the mid-1950s, reveals a landscape defined by its drainages, including Columbia Creek, Alder Creek, and King Creek. For those interested in the human footprint on the frontier, the map identifies isolated Cabin locations and unspecified Ruins, providing a clear indication of previous habitation or seasonal activity in this unsurveyed territory. The steep contour work illustrates the narrow valleys formed by Hilda Creek and Wilson Creek as they feed into the larger river systems. This map serves as an important bridge between early prospecting eras and the modern wilderness, marking the locations of structures that were still standing or recognizable during the field annotations of 1956.
