1957 Map of Eagle A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

South Fork Fortymile River and the Mosquito Fork converge in this remote stretch of the Alaska interior, an area defined by its gold mining history and rugged waterways. The landscape is dominated by Taylor Mountain in the south and high ridges like Wilson, with numerous drainages such as Buckskin Creek and Moose Creek cutting through the terrain. The presence of a Mine near Ingle Creek and various Cabins suggests the persistent pull of mineral wealth in the Fortymile district during the mid-20th century. Transportation is limited to the Taylor highway and several remote routes like the Tractor Trail and a Jeep Trial, reflecting the area's isolation. Scattered Ruins and surveyor marks like VABM 2460 Road anchor this 1957 record of a territory transitioning into statehood.
