1958 Map of McGrath B-3

About this map

Windy Fork Middle Fork Kuskokwim River flows through this interior landscape, which was mapped from aerial photography captured between 1953 and 1957. The terrain is defined by the braided channel of the Middle Fork Kuskokwim River as it passes the Trimokish Hills in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 1950s survey reflects a wilderness area without established roads or trails, where geographical naming focuses on the complex drainage systems and primary relief features. The meandering course of Khuchaynik Creek provides a central reference point for the valley floor, illustrating the intricate network of tributaries that feed into the larger Kuskokwim system during this era of mid-century Alaskan topographic mapping.
