About this map

The Chena River system dominates this Alaskan landscape, with the East Fork Chena River and S Fork Chena River carving through the high country. In this mid-century period, the area is defined by its drainage network rather than permanent settlements, featuring a series of creeks with names that hint at the region's prospecting history, such as Gold Creek, Little Gold Creek, and Bonanza Creek. A prominent high point known as The Butte rises in the southeastern section, providing a clear landmark amidst the complex topography.
