2019 Map of Ruby A-6 SE

About this map

Poorman stands as the primary point of human interest in this remote interior landscape, situated along the Ruby/Poorman Road (Extension). This region of Alaska, documented by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2019, is defined by an intricate network of drainages that follow the undulating contours of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. Watercourses with names suggestive of early mining exploration, such as Tenderfoot Cr, Bonanza Cr, and Eldorado Cr, converge toward Poorman Cr in the northern half of the sheet. The southern section is dominated by the headwaters of Cache Cr and Gentian Cr. The orientation of these creeks and the solitary road connection highlight the area's isolation and its reliance on historic transport corridors established for resource extraction in the Alaskan wilderness.
