1954 Map of Ophir D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Yukon River dominates the western corridor of this 1950s interior Alaska survey, weaving through a complex network of wetlands and riverine features. Large landmasses like Morgan Island and Quail Island are situated within the shifting channels, illustrating the dynamic hydrology of the region before significant modern development. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Kaiyuh Mountains, a distinctive upland system that provides a stark contrast to the saturated lowlands of the river valley. Mapping during this era relied heavily on 1953 aerial photography and subsequent field annotations to delineate the labyrinth of unnamed ponds and sloughs that feed into Stink Creek. The map is structured along the Kateel River Meridian, showing a landscape largely defined by its natural topography rather than human infrastructure or permanent settlements.
