1957 Map of Eagle A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Taylor Mountain and Mount Wilson anchor the high ground in this mid-century look at interior Alaska’s gold country. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Mosquito Fork Fortymile River, which gathers numerous tributaries named for the miners who prospected these valleys. The map documents a sparsely settled frontier where transportation relied on the Taylor Highway, supplemented by a network of Tractor Trails and Jeep Trails cutting through the brush. Evidence of early 20th-century industry and habitation appears as isolated Cabins, Ruins, and a Mine near Ingle Creek. These labels suggest a seasonal or transient footprint common to the Fortymile district during this era, where small-scale operations were scattered along drainages like Bullion Creek and Buckskin Creek.
