1954 Map of Sleetmute A-7

About this map

The Buckstock Mountains and Kiokluk Mountains dominate this mid-century topographic profile of the Alaskan interior near Bethel. Mapped by the Army Map Service using aerial photography from 1953 and 1955, the terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses carving through the high country. Major drainages include the Holokuk River and the Buckstock River, which serve as the primary geographical anchors for this unsurveyed territory. Smaller tributaries like Girl Creek and Boss Creek branch into the uplands, while the southern reaches are marked by the winding paths of Oksotalik Creek and Atsaksovluk Creek. This map captures the region before extensive modern development, showing land lines that were predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management but remained unmarked on the ground at the time of publication.
