1955 Map of Circle C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The settlement of Central serves as the focal point of this interior Alaskan landscape, situated along the Steese Highway where it meets a network of local waterways. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of the Crazy Mountains and Boulder Hill to the north, giving way to a complex system of gold-bearing drainages including Deadwood Creek, Crooked Creek, and Albert Creek. Evidence of resource extraction is visible throughout the lowlands, specifically at the Placer Mine sites near the highway. The infrastructure reflects the mid-century remote Alaskan interior, featuring a Landing Strip for bush pilots and several isolated Cabin structures used by miners and trappers. To the south, a Tractor Trail and Ditch network underscore the physical effort required to navigate and manage water in this high-latitude environment.
