1956 Map of Eagle B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Fortymile River serves as the central drainage for this remote interior landscape, where the confluence of the North Fork and Middle Fork dictates the topography. This 1956 survey, compiled from mid-century aerial photography, documents a region defined by its hydrography and mining-era nomenclature. The presence of a Cabin (Ruins) near Fish Creek suggests the ephemeral nature of human habitation in this subarctic wilderness, while the names of numerous tributaries such as Gold Bottom Creek, Silver Blue Creek, and McKinley Creek point to the area's legacy of prospecting. Further east, smaller drainages like Manila Creek and Chicago Creek feed into the larger river systems, illustrating a complex network of waterways that have historically provided the only reliable corridors through the dense terrain of the Yukon-Tanana Uplands.
