1954 Map of Gulkana D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Meier Lodge stands as a focal point of settlement along the Richardson Highway in this mid-century survey of the Alaska interior. The landscape is defined by the braided path of the Gakona River as it moves south toward its confluence with the Copper River. This map captures a moment when the transportation network was largely limited to a single highway and a rugged Tractor Trail striking east into the wilderness. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Round Top Mountain and the survey station at Vabm 3363 Melers. Numerous tributaries including Excelsior Creek, Otter Creek, and Gillespie Creek drain the complex glacial topography, while the Copper River Meridian provides the primary cartographic reference for this remote territory.
