1954 Map of Ophir C-2

About this map

The Innoko River winds through this interior Alaskan landscape, characterized by complex oxbows and a vast network of marshes and wetlands. Surveyed in the mid-1950s, the terrain reveals a primitive transportation network where a Tractor Trail provides one of the few overland routes through the wilderness south of Finland Creek. The naming of local waterways like Scandinavian Creek and Doctor Beaver Creek suggests a history of early 20th-century exploration and perhaps the influence of localized trapping or prospecting camps in the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
