2019 Map of Iditarod D-2 NE

About this map

Ganes Creek and its complex drainage system dominate this interior Alaskan landscape within the t33n r38w and t34n r39w township sections. The map centers on the high-elevation terrain between the Beaver Creek and Ganes Creek watersheds, a region historically tied to the Iditarod mining district. The presence of Ganes Creek Road following the contours of the eastern valleys suggests the ongoing importance of access to this remote placer gold region. Other notable drainages including Six Gulch, Spaulding Creek, and Last Chance Creek indicate a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and the erosive power of cold-water streams. The lack of permanent structures beyond the road infrastructure reflects the seasonal and industrial character of this territory in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area.
