1954 Map of McGrath A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Tatlawiksuk River meanders through the northern lowlands of this interior Alaskan landscape, which transitions sharply into the high, unnamed elevations of the central and southern reaches. Compiled from aerial photography taken in the early 1950s, this survey reveals an almost entirely untouched wilderness where natural drainage patterns define the geography. In the southeastern portion of the map, the Cheeneetnuk River cuts a path through steep, densely contoured ridges. The lack of roads, trails, or structures throughout this region highlights its state as a true frontier during the mid-century period. For those interested in the raw topography of the Kuskokwim River drainage, this sheet provides a detailed study of the intricate stream networks and high mountain passes that existed before more modern development reached the Alaskan interior.
