1954 Map of Taylor Mountains C-2

About this map

Nushagak River winds through the heart of this southwestern Alaska interior, serving as the primary drainage for a landscape defined by its complex hydrology and high-elevation terrain. Surveyed in the mid-1950s using aerial photography, the sheet documents the natural path of the river before modern environmental shifts. To the north and west, the tributary waters of Woods Creek and Bear Creek carve through the foothills of the Taylor Mountains, illustrating the intricate watershed patterns that have long dictated movement through this roadless region. The map provides a detailed topographic record for researchers interested in the historical geography of the Dillingham area, focusing on the preservation of natural watercourses and landforms in their mid-century state.
