1955 Map of Circle C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Central settlement serves as the primary hub of activity in this mid-century Alaskan interior landscape, situated where the Steese Highway cuts through a complex network of waterways. To the north, the Crazy Mountains and Boulder Hill dominate the topography, giving way to the expansive drainage basins of Albert Creek and Crooked Creek. The presence of a Landing Strip and a series of Placer mining sites illustrates the region's reliance on air transport and mineral extraction during the 1950s. A web of seasonal routes, including the Winter Trail and Louie Run, connects the high ground to the marshy lowlands surrounding Medicine Lake. The map reveals a landscape defined by the intersection of remote mining claims and the vital overland lifeline of the highway, with numerous family-named landmarks like Deadwood Creek and Ketchem Creek signaling the area's prospecting history.
