2017 Map of Solomon D-3 NW

About this map

Mt Wick rises as the primary topographic landmark within this interior Alaskan quadrangle near the Fish River. This 2017 survey documents a high-altitude landscape defined by the Melsing Creek Divide, where numerous drainage systems originate. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Glacier Cr and Slate Cr, flowing through deep glacial valleys. The absence of roads or structures highlights the wilderness character of this area in the Nome Census Area, where human presence is primarily marked by the legacy of geographical naming along gold-bearing prospects such as Ready Bullion Cr and California Cr. These labels reflect the region's mining history, even in the absence of active industrial sites shown on this specific sheet.
