1952 Map of Melozitna D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Indian River flows through the northwestern corner of this remote Alaskan interior, marking a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways including Big Creek and Sithdontit Creek. Photogrammetric methods from 1952 aerial surveys reveal a wilderness largely devoid of permanent settlements, instead punctuated by high-altitude survey markers such as VABM 1840 Trail and VABM 1941 Hunter. The presence of the label Calamity near the headwaters of a southern tributary to the main river suggests an area of local significance, perhaps tied to a specific historical event or difficult crossing known to early travelers. The map also delineates the precise boundary between the Kateel River Meridian and the Fairbanks Meridian, a critical detail for understanding the land survey history of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. A solitary Trail provides the only evidence of overland passage through these drainage basins of the Tobatokh Creek system.
