1956 Map of Eagle D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Yukon River carves a massive path through this subarctic interior landscape, where the international border with Canada meets the American wilderness. The historic settlement of Eagle and nearby Eagle Village sit along the southern banks, serving as critical points of human presence in this high-latitude terrain. Transport and infrastructure are represented by the Taylor Highway, which terminates near the river, and the Eagle Landing Strip, indicating the area's reliance on air and river travel. Distinctive geological markers like the striped Calico Bluff and the prominent Eagle Bluff overlook the water, while the Seventymile River and Tatonduk River feed the Yukon's flow. Traces of early mobility appear in the form of a Tractor Trail cutting through the valleys of Mission Creek and Excelsior Creek, reflecting a time of rugged overland transit.
