1954 Map of Ophir A-2

About this map

Ophir serves as the primary hub on this mid-century survey of the Alaska interior, situated where several creeks converge in a landscape dominated by the search for gold. Placer mining operations define the local economy, with a Placer Mine and a general Mine label marking active sites along the drainage of Ganes Creek. The presence of an Airstrip near the settlement underscores the region's reliance on bush aviation for supply and transport across this roadless terrain.
