About this map

Little Chena River meanders through the interior landscape of this 1990s survey, defining a drainage basin punctuated by active mining prospects and seasonal infrastructure. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the Two Rivers School and the Two Rivers Recreation Area, where Chena Hot Springs Road provides the primary corridor for regional travel. Away from the main road, the landscape is crisscrossed by a network of Winter Trails and Pack Trails, reflecting an area where movement is often dictated by the seasons and the rugged terrain.

Evidence of resource exploration is found at the headwaters of northern tributaries, with multiple locations marked simply as Mine or Prospect. Named waterways like Potlatch Creek, Anaconda Creek, and Last Chance Creek feed into the larger river system, while isolated Cabins suggest remote outposts or seasonal dwellings. This survey captures the transition between the developed roadside community and the wilderness beyond, where a Gaging Sta monitors the pulse of the river system.
