1954 Map of Taylor Mountains D-3

About this map

Fuller Mountain dominates the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, rising above the winding path of Taylor Creek. The watercourse meanders through a broad valley of wetlands and complex drainage patterns, serving as the central geographic feature of the region. To the southwest, the Little Taylor Mountains create a distinct upland boundary. This 1:63,360 scale study, based on 1955 aerial photography and 1954 field annotations, captures an era of primary mapping in the Alaska interior where no roads or trails were yet recorded. The topographic detail reflects a raw, undeveloped wilderness, with land lines representing unsurveyed and unmarked locations as predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management.
