About this map

Pedro Dome and the surrounding gold-bearing creeks anchor this interior landscape during a period of significant infrastructure evolution. The map documents the legacy of early mining and rail transport alongside modern energy development, prominently featuring the Trans-Alaska Pipeline as it cuts across the terrain. Placer mining history is evident in the tailings along Pedro Creek and the various settlements established to support the industry, including Pedro Camp, Dome Camp, and Old Chatanika.

Transportation corridors define the regional movement, from the historic Old Railroad Grade and Winter Trail to the modernized Elliott Highway. The transition from early 20th-century resource extraction to a protected landscape is marked by the White Mountains National Monument Boundary, which borders the Yukon Flats to the north. Smaller mining outposts and sites like Olnes and Vault are preserved here, offering a detailed look at the habitation patterns of the Fairbanks mining district.
