1956 Map of Bettles
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The Arctic Circle cuts directly through this remote interior landscape, where the Alatna River and Koyukuk River converge near the established settlements of Bettles and Evansville. By the mid-1950s, this region was a critical nexus for northern transport, evidenced by the Winter Road and various Winter Trails that provided the only overland access during the frozen months. Further east, the Jim River valley shows early signs of industrial expansion with the Prospect Creek Camp, while the Gold Bench Mine remains a testament to the area's mineral prospects.
