1952 Map of Ruby B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Titna River meanders through this interior Alaska landscape, creating a complex network of wetlands and oxbows at the heart of the Ruby B-1 quadrangle. Compiled from 1952 aerial photography, the map reveals a wilderness where transport and survival were dictated by the flow of the Big Mud River and its various tributaries. Human presence is sparse, marked only by isolated Cabins and a lone Cabin along the riverbanks, likely serving as seasonal basecamps for trapping or exploration. To the south, California Creek and Baker Creek drain the higher elevations, illustrating the hydrological transition from upland slopes to the saturated river bottoms. This survey provides a baseline of the mid-century terrain before any significant modern alterations, documenting the exact positions of remote shelters in the Fourth Judicial Division.
