Poster Vintage Alaskan Gold Prospecting Map - 1897

This is a reproduction of an actual gold miners prospecting map of 1897. It is 18" by 24" and is presented on poster paper. Upgrading to heavy duty matte is recommended if you are framing this. The standard size makes it easily frame-able or you can add a custom or standard sized frame here. The overland route can be readily traced from Juneau to Dyea by water, thence over Chilkoot Pass to Lake Lindeman and Lake Bennett, where boats and rafts are built for the long journey of 600 miles down the watercourse to Dawson. The ride is on through Lake Marsh, through or around White Horse Rapids and to the Lewis River, thence to the Yukon, which is formed by the junction of the Lewis and Pelly at Fort Selkirk. Chilkat Pass and White Pass may be found on either side of Chilkoot Pass, and both may become important routes. The proposed railroad is shown connecting the navigable extremes of Stahkeen River and Feslin Lake in British territory. ------------------- This gold map would be a great addition to any hotel or lodge in Alaska or any home or business that wants an eclectic and vintage look. This is also a must have for any Gold Rush fan.
