1952 Map of Holy Cross D-5

About this map

Atchuelinguk River flows through the western portion of this 1952 topographic study, showcasing a remote Alaskan landscape before modern development. Mapped by the Army Map Service using aerial photography from the early 1950s, the terrain is defined by the winding course of the Bonasila River and its various tributaries. The absence of roads or established settlements on this sheet highlights the isolation of the North Boundary Seward Meridian region during the mid-century era. Geographers and historians can trace the natural drainage patterns of Jackson Creek as it carves through the interior highlands, providing a clear record of the hydrography as it existed when the field was first annotated in 1952.
