1951 Map of Charley River

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Yukon River waters dominate this mid-century reconnaissance, flowing past remote outposts and early industrial sites along the Alaska Yukon border. The map documents a landscape where traditional river travel met localized mining activity, evidenced by the Tailings and Landing Area near Woodchopper and Coal Creek. Settlement patterns are sparse, defined by isolated structures simply labeled Cabin and more established sites like the now-quiet Millers Camp (Aban'd) near the Tatonduk River. Navigation and land management are anchored by numerous survey monuments and bench marks, such as VABM 4132 Pack, while the terrain is marked by distinctive heights like Kathul Mtn and Indian Grave Mtn. This survey provides an essential view of the eastern interior's geography before significant modern development, preserving the locations of Nation Landing Area and the long Ditch systems used in hydraulic mining operations.
