1956 Map of Melozitna B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Little Melozitna Hot Springs stands as a focal point in this 1950s interior Alaskan landscape, situated near the confluence of Hot Springs Creek and the Little Melozitna River. The map reveals a region defined by its drainage systems and early resource extraction, with the Melozitna River winding through the northern reaches. To the south, the terrain rises toward Switchback Mountain and Little Mountain, where the map documents the Linda Trail and a Placer Mine located along Golden Creek. These features suggest a period of active prospecting and localized wilderness travel before modern infrastructure reached this part of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The dense network of creeks, including Nugget Creek, Miner Creek, and Shale Creek, reflects the typical nomenclature of a mining district where mineral exploration shaped the naming of the landscape along the Kateel River Meridian.
