1952 Map of Tanana A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Yukon River cuts through the northwest corner of this Interior Alaska landscape, serving as the primary geographic anchor for a region defined by its drainage basins and early industrial footprint. In the early 1950s, the area south of the river was a network of gold-bearing prospects and seasonal outposts, most notably the site of Woodchopper (Aband). Evidence of mining activity is scattered across the terrain, from the Placer Mine on Little Boulder Creek to the extensive Tailings and Ditch systems that diverted water for hydraulic operations along Colorado Gulch and American Creek.
