1953 Map of Medfra C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Mystery Mountains and the Sunshine Mountains anchor this interior Alaskan landscape, which remains largely untouched by infrastructure in the mid-1950s. The region is defined by a dense network of waterways, most notably the meandering Nowitna River in the northwest. Numerous drainages such as Clearwater Creek, Meadow Creek, and Fire Creek flow through the valleys, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Kuskokwim River watershed. A lone Cabin near the northern boundary stands as the only named structure, suggesting a landscape used primarily for seasonal trapping, hunting, or early geological exploration. This 1953 survey, based on aerial photography, provides a clear view of the unsurveyed wilderness before any formal roads or trails were established in this part of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
