1955 Map of Norton Bay D-1

About this map

The Gisasa River flows through this interior Alaskan wilderness, following a winding course that defines the lower elevations of this high-latitude terrain. Surveyed in the mid-1950s using aerial photography, the landscape is dominated by significant elevation changes, punctuated by high points such as VABM 3245 Summit. This map captures a remote area largely defined by its natural hydrology and administrative geography, marked by the Approximate Boundary between the Second and Fourth Judicial Divisions. Small tributaries like Arvesta Creek and Caribou Creek feed into the larger river system, illustrating the drainage patterns of a region that remained without established roads or trails at the time of this publication.
