1949 Map of Anchorage D-7

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Talkeetna Mountains define the high terrain of this 1949 survey, which captures the peak of lode mining activity in south-central Alaska. This particular area is remarkably dense with named claims and shafts, particularly clustered around Willow Creek and the high elevations of Bullion Mountain. The mapping reveals a complex infrastructure of mining development, including the prominent Independence Mine and Lucky Shot Mine, as well as numerous prospects like the Holland Prospect and Kelly-Willow Prospect. The transport network of the era is anchored by the Willow Creek Road, which winds its way toward Hatcher Pass, providing the essential lifeline for these remote industrial outposts. The detailed record of creek names like Craigie Creek and Fishhook Creek reflects the intense geographic documentation required during the territory's mid-century gold and mineral expansion.
