1956 Map of Eagle A-1

About this map

The Taylor Highway and several Tractor Trails snake through the gold-bearing drainages of the Fortymile District along the international border with Canada. Evidence of industrial-scale gold recovery is prominent, with extensive Dredge Tailings and a Placer Mine marking the creeks where miners once sought their fortunes. The settlement of Jack Wade serves as a focal point for the region's mid-century activity, supported by both the Jack Wade Landing Strip and the Boundary Landing Strip further east. The landscape is defined by high peaks like Steele Creek Dome and Davis Dome, which overlook a complex network of waterways including the Walker Fork and South Fork. This survey documents a working wilderness where the infrastructure of aviation and resource extraction met the rigid line of the Alaska Yukon boundary.
