1954 Map of Iditarod B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Flat and Discovery anchor this mid-century look at the Iditarod mining district, where the landscape is defined by the extensive Placer Mine operations along the creek beds. Large sections of Tailings follow the path of Otter Creek, reflecting decades of industrial activity in this gold-bearing region. Transportation in the interior relied heavily on seasonal movement, evidenced by the distinct Summer Trail and Winter Trail networks that cross the drainage of Murray Creek and Long Creek. To the west, the Landing Strip at Flat provided a vital link to the outside world, while isolated Cabin locations are scattered throughout the drainages of Bonanza Creek and Prince Creek. The terrain is dominated by high ground like Chicken Mtn, separating the complex web of gold-producing streams that form the headwaters of the regional river systems.
