1952 Map of Nulato B-3

About this map

Totson Mountain stands as a central peak within the expansive Kaiyuh Mountains during this mid-century period in the Alaska Interior. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, with Bonanza Creek and Bishop Creek draining the northern slopes, while the Yuki River edges the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. High-elevation triangulation stations, such as VABM 2714 Bishop and VABM 2053 Kalakaket, mark the primary summits used for the 1950s photogrammetric mapping process. This survey, compiled from 1952 aerial photography, captures a wilderness area devoid of roads or permanent settlements, where drainages like Kala Creek and Camp Creek provided the only natural corridors through the high country of the Fourth Judicial Division.
