About this map

Usibelli Peak and Mount Lathrop anchor this high-elevation interior Alaskan landscape, which was field-annotated in the mid-twentieth century. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages that feed into the larger Tatlatnika River and Wood River systems. Watercourses like Last Chance Creek, Gold King Creek, and Dexter Creek reveal a naming convention often associated with early prospecting and exploration in the region.

A isolated Cabin near the confluence of Needle Creek and the Tatlatnika River represents a rare point of human habitation in this largely unsurveyed territory. The map details complex drainage patterns like Healy Creek and Cody Creek alongside prominent landmarks such as Needle Rock and Keevy Peak, providing a clear record of the physical geography before extensive modern development in the Alaska Range.
