1953 Map of Norton Bay C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Shaktolik River dominates the northern reaches of this Alaskan interior landscape, carving a wide path through the unsurveyed and unmarked lands of the Kateel River Meridian. Mapped during the mid-twentieth century using photogrammetric methods from aerial surveys, this quadrangle reveals a land defined by its drainages rather than permanent settlements. Tributaries such as Egavik Creek and Brass Creek flow through the varied terrain, while local heights like Debauch Mtn and Swifty provide the primary geographic landmarks for the region. The lack of roads or established trails at the time of the survey emphasizes the reliance on these natural waterways for movement. Because this area was not field checked, the map captures a primary state of the wilderness as interpreted from photography taken between 1952 and 1957, documenting the topography before significant modern human impact.
