2018 Map of Eagle B-4 SW

About this map

The Middle Fork Fortymile River cuts through the northwest corner of this terrain, anchoring a drainage system that has historically drawn interest for its mineral potential. The landscape is defined by high ridgelines and the deeply incised valleys of McKinley Cr and Little Whiteman Cr, which flow generally northward. These watercourses are part of a larger network of tributaries, including Gold Bottom Cr and Silver Bow Cr, whose names reflect the prospecting history that once saturated this region of Alaska. The map illustrates a wilderness largely devoid of modern structures or roads, focusing instead on the hydrography and elevation contours that guided early travelers and miners through the interior. Smaller tributaries like Enterprise Cr and Van Milligan Cr further delineate the complex topography of the southeast Fairbanks census area, providing a clear view of the natural corridors used for navigation before the era of modern infrastructure.
