1954 Map of Medfra C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Susulatna River and the North Fork Innoko River wind through this interior Alaska landscape, defining a region where transportation relied heavily on seasonal routes and small-scale aviation. The presence of a Summer Trail cutting across the northern reaches and a designated Landing Strip near Colorado Creek underscores the logistical challenges of the mid-1950s. Near the western edge, a solitary Mine is located along the drainage of Creston Creek, hinting at the mineral extraction that historically drove exploration in the Yukon-Koyukuk region. In the southwest, the terrain rises significantly toward the Mountains at VABM 8272 Cripple, where Cripple Creek and Butte Creek originate. This map documents a largely unsurveyed wilderness where the Bureau of Land Management established land lines before physical markers were placed, preserving a view of the territory during its early aerial surveying phase.
