About this map

Petersville serves as the focal point of human settlement in this landscape, situated south of the high-elevation reaches of the Peters Hills. This area within the Alaska Range is defined by a dense network of watercourses and gulches that drain the surrounding uplands. Access is primary along the Petersville Road, which connects the southern flats to the northern mining and recreation routes like Cache Creek Road and Lucky Creek Drive. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward peaks drained by Trout Creek and Grant Creek, while the southern reaches are dominated by low-lying wetlands and meandering channels of Black Creek and Martin Creek. The map documents the persistent infrastructure of this mining-heavy region, showing how contemporary road networks follow the same drainages that have drawn prospectors for generations.
