1956 Map of Eagle D-6

About this map

Charley River dominates the eastern drainage of this interior Alaskan wilderness, as mapped in the mid-1950s. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the North Star Borough boundary and the intricate headwaters of several major creek systems. Tributaries such as Crescent Creek, Beverly Creek, and Moraine Creek carve through the high ridges, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of this unpopulated region. The survey also identifies the east-west Base Line, a critical reference for the Public Land Survey System during the territory's transition into statehood. These topographical details, captured through photogrammetry from mid-century aerial photographs, record the untouched character of the subarctic terrain before modern development or resource extraction altered the land.
