1954 Map of Ophir C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Kaiyuh Mountains dominate this interior landscape, which was photogrammetrically mapped from aerial photographs taken in 1953. This mid-century survey documents a wilderness defined by its water systems and topographic elevation, where North Hather Creek and Hather Creek drain the eastern lowlands. The survey reflects a period when this part of the Alaskan interior was systematically indexed using the Kateel River Meridian, though the land remained largely unsurveyed and unmarked on the ground. The absence of roads or trails emphasizes the region's character at the time of field annotation in 1954, with drainage from Menolt Creek carving through the western slopes. For researchers, the map provides the exact predetermined township and range locations established by the Bureau of Land Management before physical settlement or transit lines altered the terrain.
