About this map

Jack Wade serves as a focal point in this remote corner of the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, where gold mining history and modern infrastructure meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Wade Creek and its many tributaries, such as Gilliland Creek and Uhler Creek. These waterways eventually feed into the protected corridor of the Fortymile Wild and Scenic River, illustrating the watershed's drainage from high points like Steele Creek Dome.

The transportation network through this interior wilderness is anchored by the Taylor Highway, which traverses the high ridges and follows the contours of the creek valleys. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the junction with the Top of the World Highway highlights the region's role as a gateway between the Alaskan interior and the Yukon. For genealogists and researchers, the map provides precise locations for named landmarks like Fifteen Gulch and Jezzhiaa Tr'injuu Gulch, preserving the specific nomenclature of this high-latitude terrain.
