1954 Map of Medfra B-6

About this map

Susulatna River and the Agate Fork dominate this interior landscape, cutting through an area defined by significant relief and unsurveyed land lines. Mapped from aerial photographs taken in the mid-1950s, the terrain transitions from the low-lying wetlands and swamps near the riverbanks to the prominent heights of Fossil Mountain and Page Mountain. The northwest corner is anchored by the Cripple Mountains, where Cripple Creek and Canyon Creek descend into the valleys. This region is notably devoid of established roads or permanent settlements during this period, emphasizing the wilderness character of the Yukon-Koyukuk interior. The drainage pattern of the West Fork Nixon Fork in the northeast further illustrates the complex watershed system that shapes this remote Alaskan territory.
