1954 Map of Taylor Mountains A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Sleitat Mountain rises as the primary topographic landmark in this interior Alaskan wilderness, captured through photogrammetric methods from aerial surveys conducted in the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, most notably the winding paths of Yukpatik Creek in the north and the westward flow of Old Man Creek. The Base Line survey marker bisects the quadrangle, indicating the early stages of formal land partitioning by the Bureau of Land Management. While devoid of permanent settlements or roads at the time of the survey, the presence of Harris Creek and numerous unnamed tributaries suggests a complex hydrological network typical of the Dillingham region. This document represents a fundamental stage in mapping the Alaskan interior, where terrain and water governed movement and potential exploration before any modern infrastructure was established.
