About this map

The Casadepaga River carves through this portion of the Seward Peninsula, defining a landscape where drainage patterns tell the story of early 20th-century prospecting. This high-latitude terrain is marked by numerous gold-rush era watercourses, including the evocatively named Ready Bullion Cr, Discovery Cr, and Eldorado Cr. These names are artifacts of the Seward Peninsula's mining history, where every tributary was mapped for its potential yield.

In the southern reaches of the quadrangle, the river is joined by Willow Cr and Johnson Cr, while northern elevations are drained by Telephone Cr and Canyon Cr. The survey also documents the network of smaller flows like Golly Cr and Myers Cr that feed into the larger river system. This map captures the area as it stood in the early 21st century, maintaining the nomenclature established during the region's historical development.
