1955 Map of Circle B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Birch Creek meanders through this interior Alaska landscape, defining a valley where mining and aviation once anchored local activity. The presence of several mines and specifically noted Placer Mines along Deadwood Creek and Harrison Creek indicates the region's historical reliance on mineral extraction. High ground is marked by Ketchum Dome, while the valley floors are dotted with numerous cabins and shelter points for prospectors and travelers. A Tractor Trail provides a glimpse into the seasonal transport routes required to reach remote sites like the Circle Hot Springs Landing Strip. In the northeast corner, Medicine Lake stands as a quiet landmark amidst a network of drainage features with evocative names like Discovery Gulch and Nugget Gulch, which point to the gold-seeking heritage of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
