1954 Map of Taylor Mountains B-6
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
Shotgun Hills dominate the northern landscape of this interior Alaskan territory, where the topography transitions from high, rocky ridges into a complex network of wetlands and drainage basins. The King Salmon River meanders across the southern half of the sheet, carving a wide valley floor marked by intricate oxbows and marshy lowlands. This mid-century survey, based on 1953 and 1955 aerial photography, documents a wilderness area defined by its natural drainage patterns and the absence of established roads or permanent settlements. The high-elevation contours of the hills contrast sharply with the alluvial plains, illustrating the primary watercourses that have historically shaped navigation and seasonal movement in this portion of the Dillingham region.
