1954 Map of Taylor Mountains C-2

About this map

The Nushagak River carves a broad valley through the center of this 1954 survey, serving as the primary drainage for a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and dense forest cover. Mapped by the Army Map Service using photogrammetric methods from aerial photographs, the terrain is defined by the winding paths of several key tributaries. To the north, Woods Creek feeds into the main river, while Cabin Creek and Burnt Creek drain the western slopes. The lack of named settlements or roads highlights the wild character of the region during the mid-1950s, where movement was likely dictated by the seasonal flow of these watercourses. This map captures the natural hydrology of the Bristol Bay drainage basin before modern infrastructure reached these interior Alaskan mountains.
