About this map

Tatlanika Creek dominates this interior Alaskan landscape, which was documented by the Geological Survey during the mid-20th century. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainages such as Saint George Creek and Roosevelt Creek that feed into the larger river systems. Evidence of gold mining activity is visible through several Placer Mines located near the confluence of Moose Creek and Sheep Creek, along with a significant Ditch following the path of Gold King Creek. These features indicate the region's reliance on hydraulic mining and specialized transport, including a Sled Road and a remote Landing Strip. Human presence is sparse, marked only by isolated landmarks like a solitary Cabin and high survey points such as VABM Murphy 4830, reflecting the frontier nature of the Tanana Valley foothills.
