1954 Map of Iditarod C-3

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Moore Creek serves as a focal point for activity in this interior Alaskan landscape, where the geography is defined by seasonal mobility and resource extraction. The presence of a Placer Mine and associated Tailings near a small Cabin and a dedicated Landing Strip illustrates the isolated nature of mining operations in the mid-1950s. Transportation through this remote terrain relied heavily on specialized routes, indicated by the distinct Summer Trail, Winter Trail, and a Tractor Trail that navigate the high ground between peaks like Camelback Mtn and Shoaty Mtn. The hydrology of the region is dominated by the Dishna River and George River, with numerous tributaries such as Guggenheim Creek and Fourth of July Creek carving through the drainage basins. This map preserves a specific moment when wilderness aviation and seasonal overland trails were the primary lifelines for small-scale industrial outposts.
