1954 Map of Iditarod A-6

About this map

The Iditarod River meanders through a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and high elevation points in the Yukon-Koyukuk region. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, this area shows the intricate drainage patterns of the Little Small Creek and Montana Creek as they feed into the primary river system. High points such as Mosquito Mountain and Vabm 1079 Montana serve as critical landmarks for surveying and navigation in this roadless territory. The map illustrates a wilderness characterized by marshy lowlands where American Creek and Reindeer R flow through undeveloped terrain. This documentation reflects the interior of Alaska before significant modern alterations, capturing the natural hydrological state of the Iditarod basin.
