1952 Map of Unalakleet A-4

About this map

The Anvik River dominates the central corridor of this interior landscape, winding through terrain that was photogrammetrically mapped in the early 1950s. This drainage system is fed by significant tributaries including the Swift River to the west and Runkels Creek to the south. In the northern reaches, the waters of Otter Creek and Canyon Creek carve through the high ground, illustrating a complex network of undeveloped waterways. This map represents a moment in time when the region remained largely without roads or trails, as noted by the Army Map Service in their technical classification. The survey also marks the South Boundary Kateel River Meridian, a critical reference point for the unsurveyed and unmarked land lines predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management during this era.
