1954 Map of Taylor Mountains A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Nushagak River dominates this interior Alaskan landscape, meandering through a broad floodplain characterized by intricate oxbow lakes and marshy terrain. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, the map reveals a remote wilderness where human presence is marked only by isolated Cabins and ruins along the riverbanks, suggesting seasonal use or long-abandoned outposts. In the northern reaches, the King Salmon River joins the Nushagak system, while the southeastern corner is anchored by the rising slopes of Sleitat Mountain. Tributaries like Klutulspak Creek and Vukpalik Creek feed into the central valley, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this subarctic environment. This 1954 fieldwork captures the region before extensive modern development, documented during a period when land lines were predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management but remained largely unsurveyed on the ground.
