1956 Map of Charley River A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Strawberry Dome and the surrounding drainages of the Charley River headwaters reveal an active gold-mining landscape as it existed in the mid-1950s. The presence of a Placer Mine near Fourth of July Creek, alongside a network of gulches including Butte Gulch, Owl Gulch, and Seventeen Gulch, points to a long history of mineral exploration in this part of the Yukon-Tanana Uplands. The terrain is characterized by a series of high ridges and deep valleys carved by Washington Creek, Eagle Creek, and Surprise Creek. A notable Ditch and a Tractor Trail cutting across the southern sections illustrate the infrastructure required for remote extraction. Isolated landmarks such as the Pingo formations and high surveying points like VABM 2452 Glenn provide specific geographic anchors for those studying the physical evolution of this interior wilderness.
