1952 Map of Ruby A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Poorman and the surrounding wilderness of the Yukon-Koyukuk region are captured here during a mid-century period of shifting interior Alaskan industry. The map illustrates a landscape defined by gold mining history, evidenced by the presence of a Strip Mine along Bonanza Creek and the notable settlement of Placerville, which is marked as abandoned by the time of this survey. A significant Winter Trail cuts north-south through the terrain, tracing a path between Timber Creek and Cache Creek, serving as a vital link in a region where seasonal travel was essential. The drainage systems of the Sulatna River and numerous gold-bearing tributaries like Gold Run and Poorman Creek dominate the topography. Local aviation infrastructure is visible through the Air Strip near Poorman and another Airstrip further south, highlighting the transition from ground-based trail transport to air travel in the Alaskan bush.
