1952 Map of Gulkana D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Gulkana River and the northern shores of Paxson Lake define the eastern corridor of this 1952 topographic study. This era captures the early roadside infrastructure along the Richardson Highway, where Sportsman Lodge and Hufmans served travelers near Mile 180. The landscape transitions from the river valley into the high elevations of Flat Top Mountain, surrounded by a network of tractor trails that push westward toward Hungry Hollow. Unique to this specific document is a large central void labeled No compilation available for this area (obscured by clouds), a literal artifact of the aerial photography process used by the Geological Survey during the 1949 flyover. Beyond the highway, the map traces the Middle Fork and Twentymile Creek, showing isolated cabins and paths that represent the early footprints of habitation in this subarctic interior.
