1954 Map of Iditarod D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Beaver Mountains dominate the western portion of this mid-century Alaskan interior landscape, where the seasonal movement of people is marked by designated Summer Trail and Winter Trail routes. The drainage patterns here are complex, with the Beaver Creek system and Ganes Creek carving through the high terrain. Human activity is concentrated along these watercourses, notably at the Ganes Creek & Landing Strip in the northeast corner. This area highlights the importance of aviation and hydraulic extraction in the remote interior, specifically indicated by a Placer Mine near Six Gulch. Further south, Crater Mtn stands as a prominent landmark above Lincoln Creek. The presence of an isolated Cabin and various named tributaries like Fourth of July Creek and Last Chance Creek reflects a landscape defined by prospecting and the rugged logistics of the era.
