1954 Map of McGrath A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Tatlawiksuk River and Cheeneetnuk River define the hydrology of this interior Alaskan landscape as it was documented in the mid-1950s. The terrain transitions from broad, swampy lowlands in the north to increasingly complex, high-elevation ridges in the south. These unsurveyed lands, part of the Seward Meridian, are shown as they appeared before extensive modern human impact, with no roads or trails recorded in the area at the time of the 1954 field annotation. The intricate contour work illustrates the steep drainages feeding the rivers, while the portrayal of wetlands reveals the low-lying basins typical of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. This document serves as a baseline for the natural geography of the McGrath quadrangle during the era of early photogrammetric aerial mapping.
