1954 Map of Taylor Mountains C-1

About this map

Nushagak River meanders through the central interior of this remote Alaskan terrain, representing the primary drainage for the surrounding hills and basins. This mid-century topography, based on aerial photographs taken in 1955 and 1957, reveals a landscape defined by natural waterways and elevation contours rather than human development. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Mosquito River flows through a series of low-lying marshes and ponds, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region. The map indicates that no roads or trails were present in this area at the time of the survey, highlighting its status as an undisturbed wilderness. Compiled by the Army Map Service and edited by the Geological Survey, this sheet provides a high-resolution look at the unmapped portions of the Seward Meridian during a period of extensive federal surveying across the territory.
