1954 Map of McGrath B-6

About this map

The Kuskokwim River winds through the northwest corner of this interior landscape, which was documented through aerial photography in the early 1950s. This territory is defined by its complex drainage systems, including the Selatna River and the First Fork, showing a wilderness as it appeared before modern infrastructure development. Surveyors established vertical control points at high elevations such as Vabm Heart, Vabm Upatut, and Vabm Salak, providing foundational topographic data for the region. The map reflects the early work of the Geological Survey and the Bureau of Land Management in predetermining unsurveyed and unmarked land lines across the Seward Meridian.
