1955 Map of Iditarod D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Takotna River winds through the interior of Alaska's Fourth Judicial Division, defining the valley's drainage and transport patterns during the mid-1950s. The settlement of Takotna sits at the northeastern edge of this map, supported by an adjacent Airstrip and the nearby Takotna Air Force Station on Takotna Mountain. This region was an active corridor for resource extraction, evidenced by a Placer Mine near Independence Creek and a network of cabins connected by a Winter Trail that cuts across the western muskeg and hills. The landscape is dominated by significant elevations such as Mount Joaquin, while smaller tributaries like Yankee Creek and Fourth of July Creek feed the main river system. This survey documents the intersection of military presence and early mining interests before later development reshaped the Alaskan interior.
