1954 Map of Iditarod B-2

About this map

Granite Mountain dominates this interior Alaska landscape, rising above a complex network of drainages that feed the Kuskokwim River watershed. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, the terrain shows no roads or trails, illustrating the remote character of the Iditarod region during this era. The hydrological pattern is defined by the Big Waldren Fork and Little Waldren Fork, which meander through the northern half of the quadrangle. To the south, the headwaters of the East Fork George River take shape, supported by tributaries such as Moose Creek and Munther Creek. Small water bodies like Homestake Ct and Granite Creek are etched into the higher elevations, while the Little East Fork drains the eastern slopes of the central massif. This map provides a detailed view of the raw topography and drainage systems prior to modern developments or significant human footprint in the area.
