1953 Map of Tanana A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Manley Hot Springs serves as the focal point for this interior Alaskan landscape, which was meticulously documented in the early 1950s. The region is defined by its mining-era infrastructure, featuring an extensive network of Tractor Trails and Sled Roads that navigate the drainages of Baker Creek and its many gold-bearing tributaries. To the north, the prominent Roughtop Mountain and Boulder Ridge dominate the horizon, while the southern portion of the sheet is anchored by Manley Hot Springs Dome and the aptly named Bean Ridge. Geologic and topographic curiosity is piqued by the notation of Pingos and a Pingo near Utah Creek, indicating permafrost features within the drainages. The map records several mining-related sites, including Gold Basin Creek, Ready Money Creek, and Sullivan Creek, alongside a remote Landing Strip and various isolated Cabins, providing a detailed view of the transport and extraction patterns of the era.
