1954 Map of Medfra A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The confluence of the North Fork Kuskokwim River, East Fork Kuskokwim River, and South Fork Kuskokwim River dominates this mid-century interior Alaskan landscape. This complex hydrological system is characterized by thousands of small lakes, ponds, and sloughs that define the drainage basin of the main Kuskokwim River. The topography transitions from these low-lying wetlands in the west to more elevated ground in the east, where Jones Creek flows through the foothills. A lone Winter Trail in the southeast corner provides a human trace in an area otherwise devoid of named settlements or roads, reflecting the seasonal transportation patterns necessary in the subarctic. The map also records the South Boundary Kateel River Meridian, marking a critical point in the early surveying of the Alaska territory.
