About this map

Harrison Creek Road serves as the primary corridor through this high-latitude terrain, winding along the drainage divide between the Harrison Fork and Boulder Cr. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses and topographical features with names that evoke the prospecting history of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. Headwaters for the N Fork Harrison Cr and Bedrock Cr dominate the drainage patterns, while steep-sided valleys such as Greenhorn Gulch and Tinhorn Gulch illustrate the localized erosion patterns of the interior. The presence of numerous small tributaries designated as "pups"—including Maiden Pup, Bender Pup, and Fortythree Pup—provides a detailed look at the fine-grained hydrography that prospectors and surveyors used to navigate this territory before more modern developments reached the area.
