1955 Map of Kateel River C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Kateel River and Huslia River wind through this interior Alaskan wilderness, as mapped in the mid-1950s using photogrammetric methods. The landscape is defined by the sinuous, swampy riverbeds that dominate the lowlands, contrasting with the high ridges of the surrounding terrain. Surveyors established critical triangulation points at peaks like Vabm 1899 Tag and Vabm 1936 Moon to chart this remote territory. A significant administrative boundary, the Second Judicial Division Fourth Judicial Division, crosses the northwest portion of the sheet, marked by an Approximate Boundary. This survey captures the drainage patterns and untouched topography of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before any roads or permanent trails were established, providing a foundational record of the natural hydrology and early geodetic control points in the Alaskan interior.
