1954 Map of Melozitna B-6

About this map

Cottonwood Creek and Telukhti Creek drain a landscape of unnamed hills and interior wetlands in this mid-century survey of the Alaska interior. The map reveals a region defined by its hydrography rather than human settlement, where the only named high point is VABM Knob. In the far northwest corner, the Dulbi Slough indicates the presence of a larger river system just beyond the map's boundary. The lack of roads or trails recorded during the 1954 field annotation underscores the isolation of this terrain, which remains oriented around its natural drainage patterns and the elevation markers established by early aerial photogrammetry.
