1952 Map of Holy Cross B-1

About this map

Winter transportation routes dictate the layout of this interior landscape as it was documented in the early 1950s. The region is defined by complex topography and a network of seasonal routes, including the primary Winter Trail and segments marked as Winter Trail (Approximate). These paths represent the essential overland corridors used when the ground and waterways were frozen, allowing movement through terrain that would otherwise be difficult to traverse. Mapped through aerial photography by the Army Map Service, the sheet provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and elevation changes of this unpopulated area during a period of systematic territorial surveying by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Corps of Engineers.
