1956 Map of Eagle D-2

About this map

The Seventymile River winds through this remote interior Alaskan landscape, serving as the primary geographic corridor for mid-century activity. This 1956 survey documents the small settlement at Crooked Creek and the river obstacle known as The Falls, marking an era where transport relied heavily on seasonal routes like the Winter Trail and a Tractor Trail near Aurora Creek. A Landing Strip near the confluence of Crooked Creek and the river indicates the increasing importance of bush aviation for reaching isolated camps and mining claims.
