1952 Map of Unalakleet A-5

About this map

The Golsovia River flows northward through the western reaches of this 1950s interior Alaskan landscape, which was mapped by the Army Map Service using early photogrammetric methods. This remote quadrangle is defined by its complex drainage networks, where the Atchuelinguk River and Beaver Creek dominate the southern terrain. The survey captures the natural state of the Seward Meridian before significant modern development, emphasizing the topographical prominence of unnamed ridges separated by the Swift River and Otter Creek. The alignment of the North Boundary Seward Meridian provides a critical geographic reference point for this subarctic region, which remained largely unroaded and unsurveyed on the ground at the time of the 1952 field annotation.
