1956 Map of Melozitna B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Little Melozitna River meanders through this interior Alaskan wilderness, defined by a network of drainage basins including Eureka Creek and Hudson Creek. Surveyed in the mid-1950s using photogrammetric methods from aerial photographs, the topography reveals a complex landscape of unnamed ridges and marshy lowlands typical of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The map captures critical surveying markers like the Kateel River Base Line and the high elevation points of VABM 3478 Rocky and VABM 2833 Green. The presence of the Shorines and numerous marshy pockets alongside Moran Creek indicates a landscape shaped by seasonal water fluctuations and permafrost conditions. This record serves as a baseline for the region before modern development, showing the area as it appeared during the height of mid-century aerial surveying efforts by the Geological Survey.
