1951 Map of Chandalar

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Philip Smith Mountains dominate this 1951 study of the Brooks Range interior, where the early twentieth-century mining landscape is captured through the lens of mid-century aerial reconnaissance. This territory is defined by the headwaters of the Koyukuk River and the complex drainage system of the Chandalar River. Small outposts of activity such as Chandalar (Little Squaw) and Caro reflect the era's gold-seeking efforts, supported by remote infrastructure like the Gold Landing Strip and a Mining Camp. The presence of the Beaver-Caro Wagon Road (Aband) traces a previous generation's terrestrial transport route, now superseded by aviation. Notable peaks like Sukakpak Mtn and Horace Mtn provide fixed navigational markers for a region largely defined by its intricate network of creeks, including Linda Creek and Gold Creek, which drew prospectors into these high latitudes.
