About this map

The Fortymile River and its South Fork Fortymile River drain a high-elevation landscape defined by deep drainages and remote prospecting sites in the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area. This 2018 survey documents the enduring path of the Taylor Highway as it winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle near Wade Cr and George Cr. The terrain is characterized by numerous small tributaries and gulches, including U.S. Gulch and Uhler Cr, that have long been associated with the region's mining history.

While largely devoid of permanent settlements, the map provides an essential record of the hydraulic network that supported local exploration. Watercourses such as Napoleon Cr, Gimlet Cr, and Polly Cr highlight the intricate drainage patterns of the Alaskan interior. The road system remains minimal, reflecting the area's specialized use for transit and resource extraction rather than residential development.
