1954 Map of Taylor Mountains B-5
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
King Salmon River defines the southern reaches of this interior Alaskan wilderness, as seen through topographic surveys conducted in the mid-1950s. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of unnamed ridges and drainage basins, where the absence of roads or trails highlights the isolation of this region within the Taylor Mountains B-5 quadrangle. The map reflects a period of extensive photogrammetric mapping by the Army Map Service, relying on aerial photographs from 1953 and 1955 to chart terrain that had not yet been field-checked. This document records the intricate contour intervals and watercourse patterns of the Seward Meridian before any significant human infrastructure or named settlements reached this part of the territory.
