1955 Map of Nabesna C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Black Hills dominate the interior of this Alaskan subarctic landscape, forming a prominent upland divide amidst a complex network of wetlands and glacial lakes. This 1955 survey provides a clear view of the hydrography near the Chisana River, which cuts through the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by its numerous water bodies, including the large Tahamund Lake in the north and a cluster of basins to the west, such as Takomahto Lake, Jatahmund Lake, and Jatamund Lake. Drainage across the lowlands is facilitated by the winding course of Stuver Creek, which meanders between the hills. The map illustrates a transitional wilderness where the relief of the hills meets expansive swampy flats, a pattern common in the Copper River Meridian region during the mid-century period of topographical documentation.
