1954 Map of Marshall A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Takslesluk Lake dominates this 1954 topographic record, which captures an area of immense hydrological complexity. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of hundreds of unnamed thaw lakes and interconnecting ponds, typical of the subarctic wetlands. While the map indicates no permanent settlements or roads, the detailed surveying of the shoreline and elevation contours of the basin provides an essential record for researchers studying the long-term evolution of the Alaskan tundra. The concentration of water bodies across the central and northern sections of the sheet suggests a low-lying, poorly drained environment where seasonal shifts in the water table would fundamentally alter the navigable terrain.
