1956 Map of Eagle D-2

About this map

The Seventymile River carves a winding path through this portion of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, anchoring a landscape defined by seasonal transportation and small-scale resource extraction in the mid-1950s. The presence of a Winter Trail and a Tractor Trail highlights the importance of overland routes for supply and access before modern road networks. Evidence of human activity is concentrated along the waterways, where isolated Cabins and a Landing Strip near Crooked Creek served prospectors or trappers. A Flume located on Eldorado Creek suggests historical mining operations, while the southern terrain is dominated by the elevations of Mount Eldridge. The map also records localized navigation hazards and landmarks such as The Falls and the gravel deposit at Curtis Bar, providing a snapshot of the interior's topography before more intensive modern development altered these remote drainages.
