1953 Map of Tanana A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Yukon River carves through the northwestern corner of this territory, where the interior Alaskan landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages and early industrial infrastructure. In the 1950s, the region around Fish Lake and American Creek supported active mining operations, evidenced by labels for a Placer Mine, extensive Tailings, and a Ditch system designed to move water for hydraulic mining. A network of Tractor Trails provides the primary overland transport through the valley of Boulder Creek and down toward Woodchopper Creek. Named gulches such as Colorado Gulch, California Gulch, and New York Gulch suggest a history of prospecting and localized settlement, while a small Cabin and a designated Landing Area mark the sparse human footprint in this wilderness.
