| Relative position | The Boulder Creek prospect is situated on a north facing ridge of Black Mountain that separates Summit Creek and Boulder Creek, a tributary of the Goodpaster River (Doyon Limited, 1998). The prospect is located at SW1/4 section 26, T. 6 S., R. 18 E., of the Fairbanks Meridian, approximately 54 miles east-northeast of Delta Junction, Alaska. A winter trail from the South Fork of the Goodpaster River provides access up Divide Creek to the immediate vicinity of the prospect. There are numerous surface workings at and surrounding the site. It is locality 7 of Cobb and Eberlein (1980), who summarized relevant references under the name 'Boulder Creek'. |
