About this map

The White Mountains dominate the eastern landscape of this interior Alaska territory, where the complex hydrology of the Yukon-Koyukuk region is documented through 1951 photogrammetric surveys. The central drainage is defined by the winding course of Beaver Creek, which transitions from upland elevations past VABM 1166 Creek toward broader lowlands. Evidence of human presence in this wilderness is sparse, centered on a lone Cabin located near the northern reaches of the creek system.

Transportation and survey history are reflected in the prominence of the Fairbanks Meridian and a network of creeks including Victoria Creek and Colorado Creek. These waterways, along with the Tatalina River in the southwest, dictated the early movement through this high-altitude terrain. The map records several Vertical Angle Bench Marks such as VABM 3120 Beaver and VABM 2526 Duncan, providing precise elevation data for the peaks surrounding the Duncan Creek and Grouse Creek headwaters.
