1954 Map of Mount Hayes C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Gerstle Glacier dominates the southern high ground of this 1950s Alaskan interior survey, feeding a network of alpine waterways that carve through the Alaska Range. As the ice recedes into high-altitude crevasses, it gives rise to the braided Gerstle River, which flows northeast across a landscape of sharp relief. This topographic study, based on 1954 aerial photography, reveals a wilderness devoid of roads or permanent settlements, defined instead by the hydrologic patterns of Little Gerstle River and Sheep Creek. Notable high points like St Anthony Pass and the VABM 5301 Cumb benchmark provide fixed navigational anchors in a region where names like July Creek and Bradford Creek identify the primary drainage basins. The map illustrates the transition from glacial ice to the alluvial plains, providing an essential record of the natural state of the Fourth Judicial Division mid-century.
