1954 Map of Melozitna C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Nayuka River meanders through this interior Alaskan wilderness, as documented by aerial photography from the early 1950s. This survey records a landscape dominated by complex hydrological networks, where the river and its tributary Telukhti Creek snake through countless nameless ponds and wetlands. Two significant water bodies, Klymunget Lake and Besivivit Lake, provide clear geographical anchors in a terrain otherwise defined by shifting drainage patterns. To the northeast, the elevation rises into the Takha Khdona Hills, offering a stark contrast to the low-lying basin. The map illustrates a region void of man-made infrastructure, reflecting the area's state before late-twentieth-century developments, focusing entirely on the natural topography and the intricate relationship between the tundra and its waterways.
