This 1898 Matthew Hendges map of Alaska captures the region near the height of the Klondike Gold Rush. Frontier gold rushes are an integral part of American history of the 19th century and, even today, capture the imagination of those hoping to strike it rich. A Closer Look Coverage embraces territorial Alaska as well as adjacent parts of the Yukon, with gold regions highlighted in yellow and 'Gold District' boldly written across central Alaska. An inset of the Klondike (Juneau to Forty Mile Creek) appears in the upper right, with gold discoveries highlighted. Red overprinting notes overland and river routes into the notoriously inaccessible gold region. Red overprinting illustrates the same inland routes on the larger main map of Alaska, along with the 'monthly mail route' from Seattle and the steamer route from San Francisco. Other resource deposits, including coal, silver, copper, platinum, mercury, and oil, are noted. An inset in the lower left depicts the westernmost Aleutian Islands from Seguam Island to Attu. Klondike Gold Rush The Klondike Gold Rush, ignited in 1896, was a frenetic migration of prospectors to the Klondike region of the Yukon in northwestern Canada following the discovery of gold by local miners. This gold rush transformed the landscape and the lives of thousands, as over 100,000 individuals, driven by the allure of wealth, embarked on a grueling journey towards the remote wilderness, facing harsh climates, treacherous terrains, and immense hardships. Despite the arduous conditions, the promise of gold attracted fortune-seekers from around the globe, leading to the near-instant development of Dawson City and leaving a lasting legacy. Gold was discovered near Nome in western Alaska in 1899, and many prospectors left to try their luck in these new goldfields. Boomtown populations dwindled, and gold production peaked in 1903. Today, the legend surrounding the Klondike Gold Rush still beckons tourists.
