About this map

Jack Wade sits at the junction of several drainage systems in the Fortymile region of Alaska, serving as a primary point of reference in this interior landscape. The area is defined by its complex network of gold-bearing creeks, including Wade Cr, Gilliland Cr, and Austin Cr. The terrain is dominated by prominent landforms such as Steele Creek Dome and the deep incision of Fifteen Gulch.

Modern transportation corridors provide the only major infrastructure through this remote territory. The Taylor Highway winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, meeting the Top of the World Highway to the east. The map illustrates how these roads follow the high ridges and valley floors to navigate the significant elevation changes between watercourses like Steele Cr and Jefferson Cr.
