2017 Map of Solomon D-5 SW

About this map

The Casadepaga River and Solomon River carve through this interior portion of the Seward Peninsula, a landscape shaped by the legacies of Alaskian gold prospecting. The drainage patterns revealed here, including Allgold Cr, Moonlight Cr, and Bonita Cr, point toward the area's mining heritage. These named waterways fed into larger systems where operations once flourished in the early 20th century. Named terrain features like Homestake Gulch, Ida Gulch, and Willow Gulch highlight specific sites of interest for those studying the physical history of the Nome Census Area. The map details the complex network of tributaries such as Lower Willow Cr and Banner Cr that define the watershed between these two significant river systems.
