1952 Map of Ruby D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Mud River dominates the lowlands of this Alaskan interior landscape, winding through a complex network of wetlands and muskeg. In the early 1950s, this region remained largely unsurveyed on the ground, with the U.S. Geological Survey relying on photogrammetric methods from aerial photography to chart the intricate drainage patterns. The map documents the meandering path of Bering Creek as it feeds into the broader river system, illustrating a wilderness shaped by water and seasonal change. A solitary geodetic marker, VABM 1149 Little, provides one of the few fixed points of reference in a terrain defined by shifting shorelines and countless unnamed ponds. The presence of predetermined land lines from the Bureau of Land Management Folio K-10 indicates early administrative efforts to organize this remote territory before formal ground surveys were completed.
