1954 Map of Iditarod C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Takotna River meanders through this interior Alaska landscape, defining a complex drainage system as it appeared in the mid-1950s. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Wolf Mountain and Sugarloaf Mountain, which rise above a network of waterways including Big Walden Fork and Little Walden Fork. This survey documents a critical seasonal transit network, distinguishing between a Summer Trail and a Winter Trail, reflecting the necessity of different routes as the muskeg and rivers freeze and thaw. A solitary Cabin situated along the river indicates the sparse, resource-driven settlement pattern of the era. The mapping also captures numerous tributaries like Fourth of July Creek and Bonnie Creek, providing a detailed view of the hydrologic landscape before later 20th-century shifts in wilderness management.
