1956 Map of Eagle D-6

About this map

The Charley River dominates the eastern drainage of this interior Alaskan wilderness, as documented during the mid-1950s. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes and a sophisticated network of waterways including Crescent Creek and Beverly Creek. Unlike more settled regions, this area shows no established roads or trails at the time of the survey, instead highlighting the raw topography of peaks like Bev 3674 and Cut 4435. The western edge of the map identifies the boundary of the Fairbanks North Star Borough, while the central portion is bisected by a formal Base Line. This survey serves as a vital record of the unsurveyed and unmarked land lines as predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management, providing a clear view of the natural hydrology of Moraine Creek before modern intervention.
