1954 Map of Taylor Mountains D-7

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Cauldron River winds through this unpopulated portion of southwest Alaska, reflecting the landscape as it was documented by the Army Map Service in the mid-1950s. This survey, based on aerial photography from 1953 and 1955, shows a wilderness primarily defined by its drainage basins rather than human infrastructure. The Gemuk River and Oksobelik Creek serve as the primary landmarks in a region devoid of roads or trails at the time of mapping. Indigenous place names such as Chikukulnuk and Enatalik Creek identify the vital waterways that have historically provided access and sustenance to the area. Topographic features like Talik and Chuk highlight the elevation shifts in the Taylor Mountains, while the map's notation of unsurveyed and unmarked land lines underscores the immense scale and isolation of this interior territory during the mid-century period.
