1954 Map of Marshall C-2

About this map

The Reindeer R flows through the northern reaches of this landscape in the mid-1950s, defining a region characterized by an intricate network of countless ponds, marshes, and small lakes. Surveyed by the Army Map Service and edited by the U.S. Geological Survey, the map illustrates the complex hydrological patterns typical of the Alaskan wilderness before extensive modern development. The absence of roads or permanent settlements within the survey boundaries highlights the isolation of this terrain, where the primary geographical markers are the section lines of the Seward Meridian and the winding course of the Reindeer R as it moves across the low-lying interior plains.
