About this map

The Nenana River carves a central path through this Alaskan interior landscape, its braided channels flanked by expansive green-shaded vegetation zones. To the southeast, the broad expanse of Monahan Flat indicates the characteristic level terrain of the region, while the surrounding area is defined by a dense network of high-altitude drainages. Significant waterways include Wells Creek, Seattle Creek, and the East Fork Jack River, which feed into the primary river system.

A Proposed Road is surveyed across the southern half of the map, tracing a route through the valley of Brushkana Creek. This alignment provides a window into the mid-century infrastructure planning of the Alaska Territory, recorded just years after 1949 aerial photography. Geodetic markers like VABM 5464 Seattle and VABM 4951 Brusk identify the prominent peaks used by the U.S. Geological Survey to map this remote terrain.
