1951 Map of Gulkana D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Maclaren River dominates this interior Alaskan landscape, winding through a complex network of glacial terrain and wetlands during the early 1950s. The area is largely devoid of formal infrastructure, marked instead by isolated surveyor benchmarks and the occasional Cabin. These small structures represent the few fixed points of human habitation in a region defined by its hydrography, including the tributary waters of Clearwater Creek and Moose Creek. High-elevation points like Vabm 5275 Laren and Vabm 4224 Horn served as essential triangulation stations for the U.S. Geological Survey. This 1:63,360 scale map, based on aerial photography from 1950, documents the pre-development character of the Copper River Meridian before modern access roads or pipelines altered the wilderness drainage patterns.
