1954 Map of Marshall C-2

About this map

Izaviknek River meanders across the southern reaches of this landscape, carving a serpentine path through an expansive network of wetlands and tundra lakes. The map reflects a 1951 aerial survey of the Seward Meridian, capturing a remote Alaskan environment defined by hundreds of unnamed water bodies and saturated terrain. In the northeast corner, the Reindeer River flows through a slightly more elevated and forested corridor, providing a stark contrast to the low-lying lacustrine plains that dominate the central and western sections of the quadrangle. While the area lacks developed roads or permanent settlements in this era, the intricate drainage patterns and predetermined land lines from the Bureau of Land Management highlight the early stages of formal geographic documentation in this region.
