1953 Map of McGrath D-4

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Kuskokwim River dominates this interior Alaskan landscape, where the meandering Big River, Middle Fork, and Pitka Fork create a complex network of waterways and oxbow lakes. This 1953 survey captures the area’s reliance on seasonal travel and early aviation, centered around the Landing Strip and Farewell Landing in the northern portion of the quadrangle. Human presence is sparse but concentrated near the riverbanks, evidenced by the Big River Roadhouse (Site) and a nearby Cem.
