1954 Map of Taylor Mountains A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Klutuspuk Creek flows diagonally across this remote landscape, defining a wide glacial valley surrounded by the elevations of the Taylor Mountains. This mid-century survey by the Army Map Service documents a wilderness before the establishment of modern infrastructure, where the King Salmon River enters the frame in the upper northeast corner. The map reflects a period of systematic aerial reconnaissance, with topography derived from 1953 and 1955 photographs to chart the complex drainage patterns of the Seward Meridian. The Base Line serves as a critical surveying anchor through the center of the quadrangle, marking the transition between township ranges in a region then entirely without roads or trails.
