1956 Map of Eagle B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Fortymile River winds through this interior landscape near the international boundary, defining a region shaped by gold prospecting and transit. Published in 1963 from surveys in the mid-1950s, the map illustrates the early infrastructure of the Taylor Highway and various Tractor Trails that provided access to remote drainages. Mining activity is central to the area's geography, with several Placer Mines noted along Little Miller Creek and the notable Bonanza Bar on the river. The presence of a Road Camp, a Landing Strip (Winter), and the Dome Creek Shelter Cabin highlights the logistical challenges of the era. The terrain is marked by prominent heights like Fortymile Dome and numerous watercourses including O'Brien Creek and Discovery Creek, which served as the primary landmarks for miners and travelers along the Alaska and Yukon border.
