1952 Map of Circle C-4

About this map

Porcupine Dome serves as the prominent high point in this 1950s study of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the winding path of Preacher Creek and its tributary, North Fork Preacher Creek. Evidence of the region's mineral history is visible through a Placer Mine located along Porcupine Creek in the southeastern quadrant. This survey reflects a time when aerial photogrammetry was beginning to map the interior in greater detail, documenting small drainage features like Ninetyeight Pup and Loper Creek. The concentration of named creeks such as Willow Creek, Dome Creek, and McKinley Creek suggests the importance of these waterways for navigation and prospecting in a period before extensive road development reached this part of the territory.
