1954 Map of Medfra D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Susulatna River meanders sharply through the southern reaches of this interior Alaskan landscape, showing a dense pattern of oxbows and wetlands characteristic of the region's low-lying drainage basins. This mid-century survey captures a wilderness defined by its watercourses and elevation markers, notably the VABM Sunset 2149 peak which anchors the central highlands. Overland passage is limited to a solitary Summer Trail winding through the western hills, a vital marker of seasonal movement in an era before established road networks reached this portion of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. Small tributaries like Sunrise Creek and Sunset Creek flow north toward the South Fork Sulatna River, while Timber Cr drains the northwestern corner, illustrating the complex hydrology of the unsurveyed and unmarked lands under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management.
