1954 Map of Melozitna B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Melozitna River meanders across this interior landscape, defining a complex system of oxbows and wetlands in the Alaskan wilderness of the 1950s. The terrain is characterized by the confluence of major waterways and high ridges, where the Dutli River and Big Creek drain toward the primary river valley. Surveyed in the early post-war era, the map records a region essentially devoid of roads or trails, relying instead on natural navigation along the banks and ridges. This sheet shows the geographic intersection of the Base Line with the intricate topography of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The lack of human infrastructure highlights a time when land lines were predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management but remained unsurveyed and unmarked on the ground, leaving the physical landscape as the primary guide for explorers and surveyors.
