1956 Map of Hughes A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Indian Mountain serves as the dominant topographic landmark in this mid-century Alaskan interior survey, presiding over a landscape defined by the drainages of the Indian River and Slathlouka Creek. The map records essential transportation and extractive activity in a region where travel depended on the Sled Trail and a strategically placed Landing Strip. The presence of a Placer Mine along a tributary of the Indian River points to the small-scale gold mining operations that shaped local exploration and industry during this era. Surveyed in the 1950s using aerial photography, the sheet also details significant elevations such as VABM 2983 Menta and Vabm 4234, which provided critical geodetic control for the Geological Survey. Numerous seasonal and perennial waterways like Fish Creek, Atla Creek, and Notoniono Creek weave through the unsurveyed land lines predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management.
