1954 Map of Iditarod B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Flat and Discovery anchor the northwestern corner of this interior Alaska landscape, reflecting the intense mining activity that defined the region during the mid-20th century. Numerous Placer Mine operations are scattered along the drainages of Otter Creek and Chicken Creek, illustrating the extensive search for gold across the drainage basins of Chicken Mtn. The reliance on seasonal travel and aviation in this roadless wilderness is evident through the network of a Summer Trail, a Winter Trail, and a remote Landing Strip. A lone Cabin along Bonanza Creek and various unnamed structures near the mines suggest a transient but active population of prospectors and laborers. The terrain is a dense network of waterways, including Moore Creek, Prince Creek, and Michigan Creek, which served as the primary routes for exploration and extraction in the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
