1954 Map of Iditarod C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Iditarod (Aban'd) settlement sits as a quiet focal point along the winding Iditarod River in this mid-1950s interior Alaska survey. The landscape is defined by the complex, meandering river channel and its numerous oxbows, which serve as the primary artery through this territory. A legacy of the region's mining and transport history is visible in the decommissioned Tramway (Aban'd) and the overland Winter Trail, which together illustrate the difficulty of movement across this terrain before modern infrastructure. Numerous tributaries flow into the main river, including Franklin Creek, Belle Creek, and Zimmerman Creek, carving paths through the unnamed hills. This map documents a transition period where early 20th-century gold rush infrastructure had largely fallen into disuse, leaving behind the traces of industrial efforts in the wilderness.
