1957 Map of Eagle A-3

About this map

Taylor Mountain and Mount Warbelow anchor this subarctic landscape during the mid-1950s, a period when the Taylor Highway provided a vital corridor through the remote Yukon-Charley region. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage of the Fortymile River and its major tributary, the Mosquito Fork. The presence of a Mine near Ingle Creek and various Cabins along the watercourses points to the enduring legacy of placer mining and trapping in this district. Remnants of earlier activity are visible as Ruins situated near the confluence of Gold Creek and Buckskin Creek, offering a point of interest for researchers of early interior Alaska settlement. Primitive transport routes, including several stretches of Tractor Trail and a Jeep Trail, branch off the main highway toward remote claims and surveyor landmarks like VABM 2460 Road.
