1953 Map of Tanana A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Yukon River carves through the northwestern corner of this territory, framing a landscape defined by industrial prospects and remote outposts during the early 1950s. The presence of Placer Mine operations and extensive Tailings near Little Boulder Creek and Colorado Gulch points to a history of mineral extraction that shaped local geography. A network of Tractor Trail routes serves as the primary infrastructure, connecting solitary structures like a Cabin in the central hills to the settlement of Woodchopper (Aband) near the eastern edge. To the south, the terrain transitions into a complex wetland system anchored by Fish Lake, Clear Lake, and the Deep Creek Lakes. This area highlights the intersection of gold-era mining activity and the natural hydrology of the drainage basins flowing toward the Yukon.
