1956 Map of Eagle B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Fortymile River and its North Fork dominate this mid-century topographic survey of the Alaskan interior near the Canadian border. The landscape reflects the area's gold-rush legacy, as shown by scattered remnants of habitation including Cabins, a lone Cabin, and a site simply marked as Ruins along the river banks. This survey, based on aerial photography from the 1950s, documents a wilderness still largely defined by its waterways. Sinuous drainage patterns are formed by Columbia Creek, Alder Creek, and Wilson Creek as they cut through the unnamed ridges. The absence of roads or established townships underscores the isolation of the Eagle B-2 quadrangle, where movement was dictated by the river valleys and the seasonal demands of mining and trapping.
