About this map

Big Bones Ridge dominates the central terrain of this 1950s interior Alaskan landscape, a region defined by its complex drainage systems and absence of established roads. The mapping reveals a transition where the Oshetna River and Little Oshetna River flow through the western corridors, while the eastern reaches are fed by Tyone Creek and its various tributaries.

Remote waterways such as Sanona Creek, Tolsona Creek, and Settick Creek carve through the high country, illustrating a wilderness still largely untouched by infrastructure. The presence of Square Lake and smaller bodies like S Lake among the varied creek systems of Fourth of July Creek and Grizzly Creek highlights the intricate hydrology of the Seward and Copper River Meridians before modern development altered these remote basins.
