1959 Map of Nabesna A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Nabesna Glacier and the wide, braided channels of the Nabesna River dominate this 1950s landscape, providing a clear look at the glacial dynamics and rugged geography of this Alaskan interior region. The map captures a moment of early industrial and logistical activity, centered on Orange Hill where Quarries and the Orange Hill Landing Strip indicate localized resource exploration. A solitary Tractor Trail winds through the terrain, suggesting the difficult overland routes required for transport during this era. High-elevation ice fields such as Nikonda Glacier and Cross Creek Glacier feed into numerous drainage systems, including Monte Cristo Creek and Bond Creek. This document serves as a detailed baseline for studying the shifting margins of massive ice bodies and the early footprints of mining infrastructure in a largely untracked wilderness.
