1954 Map of Iditarod D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Takotna River meanders through this remote interior landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and wetlands during the mid-1950s. High ground is defined by the prominent Takotna Mountain and Mount Joaquin, while the drainage basins of Ganes Creek and Yankee Creek show evidence of industrial activity with a Placer Mine located in the northwest corner. This period of Alaskan history is marked by the strategic importance of the Takotna Air Force Station, situated on a high ridge overlooking the valley. Transportation across the difficult terrain relies on a Winter Trail and a remote Landing Strip, reflecting the isolation of the region before the expansion of more permanent road networks. Local geography is further detailed by numerous smaller waterways including Beef Steak Creek, July Creek, and the Totalina River.
