1954 Map of Melozitna C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Melozitna River meanders through this interior Alaska landscape, defining a complex system of oxbows and wetlands in the southeastern quadrant. Photogrammetric methods from 1952 capture a wilderness devoid of roads or permanent settlements, where the drainage patterns of Kitalitna Creek and Dome Creek dictate the terrain. High points are meticulously recorded by triangulation stations such as VABM 2575 Zina and VABM 2000 Coy, which served as critical survey benchmarks during this mid-century effort by the Bureau of Land Management and the Geological Survey. The presence of Lost Lake and various unnamed ponds amidst the marshy lowlands highlights the transition from upland ridges to the river valley, offering a precise look at the hydrology of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before any modern industrial footprint.
