1956 Map of Eagle B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Middle Fork Fortymile River and its confluence with the North Fork anchor this mid-century survey of the Alaska interior. The landscape is defined by the sinuous path of the river, which makes a sharp loop at The Kink to the east. Evidence of the region's mining heritage is present along Montana Creek, where a remote Mine and several Cabins are situated. The presence of a Landing Strip near the headwaters of Hutchinson Creek indicates the logistical challenges of this terrain, where aviation became essential for reaching isolated outposts. The designation of Fortymile (Site) near the river junction points to an earlier era of habitation along the water. This 1950s record captures a moment when resource extraction and seasonal settlements like those along Bullion Creek and Confederate Creek were the primary drivers of human activity in the territory.
