1952 Map of Ruby A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Nowitna River anchors the southeastern corner of this Alaskan interior landscape, winding through a complex system of drainage basins captured during a 1952 aerial survey. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Bonanza Creek and the Lost River, which carve through the elevations of the Ruby quadrangle. Mapping by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a wilderness devoid of established roads or settlements at the time of photography, highlighting the importance of watercourses for navigation and geography. Features like Little Wood Creek and Moose Creek illustrate the typical naming conventions of the era, likely reflecting the local fauna and resource potential encountered by early surveyors and bush pilots in the territory.
