About this map

Gold mining operations and infrastructure dominate this landscape north of Fairbanks during the early 1950s. The presence of tailings and several mining-related settlements like Dome Camp, Eldorado Camp, and Pedro Camp reflect the region's industrial focus, particularly along the southern reaches near Pedro Dome. This interior Alaskan terrain is traversed by the Elliott Highway and an Old Railroad Grade, showing the evolution of transport in the subarctic.

The Chatanika River snakes across the central portion of the map, fed by numerous creeks such as Washington Creek and Little Eldorado Creek. Engineering feats of the era are visible in the Davidson Ditch and Siphon network. To the north, the White Mountains National Monument Boundary marks a transition into the Yukon Flats, while later revisions show the path of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline cutting through the wilderness.
