2019 Map of Ophir A-2 SE

About this map

Beaver Cr flows through the heart of this Yukon-Koyukuk landscape, serving as the central drainage for a network of mineral-named tributaries. The terrain is defined by the sharp relief of ridges separated by narrow valleys, where watercourses like Steel Cr, Dodge Cr, and Ophir Cr have historically drawn interest for their potential gold-bearing gravels. The lower portion of the map is traversed by Little Creek Road, a primary artery providing access to the more remote drainages including Little Cr and Dollar Cr. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where modern road access intersects with a topography shaped by decades of interior Alaska exploration, tracing the paths of named features like Gold Run and Victor Gulch across the township lines of the t28s r12e and t27s r12e survey blocks.
