1954 Map of Ophir C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Innoko River winds through this interior Alaska landscape, defining a wide, marshy corridor punctuated by small settlements and aviation outposts. During the mid-1950s, Cripple Landing served as a key point of access along the river, while further inland, the Bear Creek No 3 Landing Strip provided a vital link for remote operations. The terrain shifts from the low-lying river valley to the prominent Hunch Mountain and the Cripple Creek Mts in the southeast. Evidence of resource extraction is visible near Graham Creek, where a Mine is situated. Movement across the landscape is traced by a Winter Trail that bypasses the summer swamps, connecting the settlement of Folger to the surrounding network of drainages like Colorado Creek and Boston Creek. This survey captures the isolated infrastructure of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before more modern transportation networks were established.
