1952 Map of Gulkana B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Ewan Lake dominates the central portion of this 1952 topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by an intricate network of small water bodies and marshy terrain within the Gulkana R drainage. The map captures the remote character of the Third Judicial Division in the early 1950s, where human presence is marked only by a small cluster of Cabins at the northeastern tip of the lake. To the west, the eastern shoreline of Crosswind Lake enters the frame, illustrating the massive scale of the lake systems that supported traditional travel and subsistence in this part of Alaska. This survey, compiled from 1950 aerial photography, provides a detailed record of the hydrography and natural contours before later development or environmental shifts altered these specific basins and drainage patterns.
