1954 Map of Circle B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Chatanika River flows across this interior landscape within the Fairbanks North Star Borough, where a complex network of waterways supported early mining and transportation. The presence of a Ditch and Flume alongside the river, near a Placer Mine, reflects the hydraulic engineering required for mineral extraction in this demanding terrain. Prominent summits like Mount Prindle and VABM McManus 4184 anchor the topography, while the Steese Highway provides the primary corridor through the valley, passing by a Gaging Sta and a lone Cabin. Streams such as McManus Creek, Faith Creek, and Hope Creek carve through the uplands, tracing the routes once vital to local prospectors. This 1950s-era survey preserves the spatial relationship between these remote work sites and the natural drainages of Sourdough Creek and Crooked Creek during a period of ongoing interior development.
