1954 Map of Taylor Mountains B-8

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Nishlik Lake and Upnuk Lake dominate this glaciated landscape in Southwest Alaska, situated north of Wood-Tikchik. Captured during a mid-1950s aerial photogrammetric survey, the topography reveals a complex network of alpine basins and drainage systems including Chikuminuk Lake and the smaller Slate Lake. The Tikchik River meanders through the eastern lowlands, collecting the outflow from these high-elevation water bodies. The terrain is notably undeveloped, with the map recording no roads or permanent structures at the time of the field annotation. Instead, the sheet focuses on the intricate contour lines of the Taylor Mountains and the vast hydrography of the Bristol Bay watershed, providing an essential record of the region’s natural geography before modern environmental shifts.
