1951 Map of Iditarod

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Iditarod River winds through the heart of this mid-century topographic survey, documenting a region defined by its gold mining history and remote transportation routes. Centered on the historic mining camp of Iditarod, the map details the network of trails and watercourses that sustained the area, including the Winter Trail and Summer Trail. The settlement patterns around Flat and Discovery reflect the late-stage interior mining boom, where the landscape is marked by numerous Placer Mines and isolated Cabins. The terrain transitions from the river lowlands to the heights of the Kuskokwim Mountains and Beaver Mountains. Notable landmarks like Swinging Dome and De Courcy Mtn provide vertical context to the extensive creek systems, such as Otter Creek and Bonanza Creek, which were central to the local economy.
