1954 Map of Mt. Hayes D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Lake George and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Alaska Range dominate this mid-century topographic study, capturing a landscape defined by glacial hydrology and steep elevation changes. The waterway of George Creek cuts through the central portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding peaks. In the lower reaches, Sand Lake and the meandering path of Sand Creek illustrate the complex depositional environment common to this region's glacial valleys. This 1954 survey, which underwent minor revision in 1985, records the area as it existed before any significant road infrastructure or human settlement appeared on the official record. The absence of trails and structures emphasizes the wilderness character of the Southeast Fairbanks region during the post-war era, providing a baseline for environmental historians and researchers studying the shifting shorelines of Alaskas glacial lakes.
