1950 Map of Gulkana D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Middle Fork Gulkana River winds through this 1950 landscape, a corridor later designated as a Wild and Scenic River. The eastern edge is defined by the expansive Paxson Lake, where the Richardson Highway provides access to the Sportsman Lodge and the small settlement at Hufmans. The topography is dominated by the Alphabet Hills to the southwest and the prominent elevation of Flat Top Mountain near the center. This era represents a time before modern development, where transit through the interior relied heavily on routes like the Winter Trail and the water networks of Swede Lake and Twelvemile Creek. The map records the intersection of high-elevation terrain and the vital river systems that supported early lodge tourism and transportation in this part of the Alaskan interior.
