1954 Map of Medfra B-6

About this map

Fossil Mountain and Page Mountain anchor this interior Alaskan landscape, which was photogrammetrically mapped in the mid-1950s. The region is defined by a complex drainage system where the Susulatna River and its tributary, the Agate Fork, cut through the terrain. To the north, the Cripple Creek Mountains rise above Cripple Creek and Butte Creek. The map captures a wilderness area devoid of established roads or trails during the survey period, reflecting the raw state of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before modern development. Detailed topographic contours illustrate the sharp relief of a Canyon and the headwaters of the West Fork Nixon Fork, providing a foundational record of the area's natural geography under the Kateel River Meridian.
