1952 Map of Gulkana C-5

About this map

The West Fork Gulkana River winds through an extensive network of wetlands and kettle ponds in this remote Alaskan interior landscape. Surveyed in the early 1950s using aerial photography, the terrain is characterized by a complex drainage system where Moose Creek and Keg Creek navigate the low-lying areas between glacial landforms. A notable elevation point for surveyors and researchers is marked at VABM 3129 Bragg, providing a primary reference point in a region otherwise dominated by meandering waterways and scattered timber. This map captures the territory before significant modern development, documenting the natural hydrologic patterns of the Gulkana basin.
