1954 Map of Medfra B-6

About this map

The Susulatna River winds through this interior Alaskan wilderness, dividing a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and expansive wetland drainages. This mid-century survey captures the region as it existed under the administration of the Bureau of Land Management, showing an area largely devoid of permanent human infrastructure or established roads. Notable peaks such as Fossil Mountain and Page Mountain anchor the central and eastern portions of the map, while the Cripple Mountains rise to the northwest. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by the Nixon Fork and the Agate Fork, illustrating the complex hydrological network of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. In the far northwest, the prominent landmark known as Butte stands near the headwaters of Cripple Creek and Folger Creek, marking a transition from the lower river valleys to higher upland terrain.
