1956 Map of Melozitna B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Little Melozitna Hot Springs sits at the confluence of several interior Alaskan waterways, anchoring a landscape defined by the drainage of the Little Melozitna River. This mid-century survey reveals a region utilized for both its natural geothermal features and its mineral potential, particularly along Golden Creek in the southeast. A single Placer Mine and a nearby Cabin indicate small-scale mining operations, while a Tractor Trail provides the primary overland access through the valley floor. High points such as Switchback Mountain and Mason Mountain overlook a complex network of tributaries including Hot Springs Creek, Moran Creek, and Illinois Creek. The topography captures a moment before significant modern development, where remote survival and resource extraction centered on these isolated water courses and trail systems.
