1979 Map of Russian Mission A-2

About this map

Dredge Tailings along the lower reaches of Fox Creek signify a landscape shaped by industrial mineral extraction in this interior Alaskan wilderness. Surveyed in the late 1970s, the terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the prominent Swift Creek and its many tributaries such as Sawpit Creek and Tabasco Creek. These drainages carve through the high ground punctuated by Baldy, illustrating a complex watershed where mining activity and natural hydrology intersect. The presence of named trails and creek-side excavations like those near Bear Creek and Myrtle Creek provides a window into the prospecting history of the region. This 1:63,360 scale study captures the area's remote character, documenting the intricate flow of Dominion Creek and Pioneer Creek before they merge into larger systems beyond the quadrangle boundary.
