1954 Map of Circle B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Davidson Ditch, a remarkable piece of early 20th-century gold mining infrastructure, cuts across the southern portion of this interior landscape. Following the terrain along the Chatanika River, it represents the massive engineering efforts required to bring water to the mining districts. The Steese Highway provides the primary artery through this territory, passing the U S Camp and connecting various remote outposts. Evidence of the region’s mineral history is clear, with multiple Placer Mines located along the drainages of Nome Creek and other tributaries. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Champion Creek and Little Champion Creek, flowing between high points like Table Top Mtn. Isolated Cabins scattered along these creeks mark the footprints of trappers, miners, and early explorers in the Fairbanks North Star Borough.
