1956 Map of Eagle A-1

About this map

The Alaska Yukon border region is captured here during the mid-1950s, showing a landscape defined by gold mining history and high-latitude transport. At the heart of the area, the settlement of Jack Wade and the nearby Jack Wade Junction serve as focal points along the Taylor Highway, while the remote outpost of Boundary sits directly against the United States Canada line. The era's industrial activity is evident through numerous Placer Mines and extensive Dredge Tailings that follow the course of Walker Fork and Wade Creek.
