1952 Map of Gulkana C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Gulkana River system dominates this mid-century Alaskan interior landscape, where the primary watercourse meets its extensive West Fork Gulkana River. This region is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous unnamed ponds and the prominent Fish Lake. Human presence is concentrated along the narrow corridor of the Richardson Highway in the southeast corner. The settlement of Sourdough serves as a lone outpost along this transit route, situated near the mouth of Sourdough Creek. The topography illustrates the transition between river-carved valleys and the higher ground of the Copper River basin. Distance markers indicate the proximity of the Haggard Road Camp, providing a clear record of the territory's limited road infrastructure and logistical points during the early 1950s.
