ALASKA GOLD MAPS

GOLD IN ALASKA - GOLD MAPS FOR GOLD PANNING, METAL DETECTING AND PROSPECTING WITH OVER 4,500 GOLD SITES. GOLD MAPS ARE GREAT FOR GOLD PANNERS, PROSPECTORS, ROCK HOUNDS, CAMPERS, AND GEOLOGIST. THE LOCATION AND MINERAL OCCURRENCE OF GOLD FOR THESE SITES CAME FROM EXTENSIVE RESEARCH OF THE ALASKA DATA FILES FROM THE U.S.G.S. DOCUMENTS. (ARDF AND MRDS DATA FILES) GOLD MAPS INCLUDE GPS DATA AND WERE PREPARED IN THE AREAS OF ALASKA IN WHICH THE MOST OCCURRENCE OF GOLD HAS BEEN FOUND AND ARE LISTED BELOW.

There is still gold in the creeks and streams in Alaska. The best chance to find Gold in these creeks and streams, placer deposits, and near old mines and prospects, is to know where the occurrence of gold has been found. Before you dig or pan for Gold you will need a map to show you where to look. These Gold Maps provide you with past gold mines, placers and prospect sites. The venture will be interesting and challenging. When you do make a Gold find it will be very exciting. In the past, it was not uncommon for one to find 1 to 6 ounce nuggets in the streams and placers. The days of easy pickings may be gone, but with some luck and a lot of determination you may find a gold nugget. There are present day stories of modern day prospectors, panning, using metal detectors or other placer mining methods, finding nuggets today. In 1998, the Alaska Centennial 294.1 ounce nugget was found by placer mining near the town of Ruby, Alaska. (Ruby Gold Map.)

 

ALASKA GOLD MAPS

A portion of the Gold map in the area of Fairbanks is shown below.


The gold sites are noted and shown with a numerical number next to each site. The number is referenced to a north latitude and west longitude point. The gold sites are shown adjacent to access roads and streams. The sites are plotted on a USGS topographic map which shows the contours of the land. A 'P' next to the gold site indicates an area where placer gold has been found. The cluster areas are shown when the gold sites are to dense to show the record numbers adjacent to them. In this case, an attachment is sent with the gold map that shows a detail of the gold cluster with the record numbers shown.
