1971 Map of Wiseman C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Allen River dominates this portion of the central Brooks Range, its braided channels cutting through a landscape of high summits and deep valleys in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a region virtually devoid of road infrastructure, where travel was dictated by the drainage of St Louis Creek and Swamp Creek. Near the southern edge, Wild Lake serves as a prominent landmark alongside Surprise Spring, while high points like Tobin Mountain and Sirr Mountain define the skyline. The presence of a lone Cabin near the lake suggests the seasonal nature of habitation and the reliance on fly-in or river-based access in this subarctic interior. This 1971 photogrammetric survey provides a detailed record of the drainage patterns of Sirr Creek and Seward Creek before later wilderness designations impacted the region.
