1954 Map of Iditarod A-2

About this map

George River and its complex network of tributaries dominate this remote Alaskan interior landscape as it was documented in the mid-1950s. The drainage system includes the East Fork, South Fork, and the Little South Fork, which carve through the Seward Meridian terrain. The map reflects a period before permanent infrastructure reached this section of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, showing a land of seasonal wetlands and high points like VABM Lunch 2035. To the east, the Nunsatuk River and Moose Creek create further natural boundaries in a wilderness characterized by unsurveyed land lines. This survey captures the geography in its natural state, providing a baseline for environmental historians and those studying the hydrography of the Alaskan bush.
