| Relative position | Eagle Creek is a northwest-flowing tributary of Washington Creek. It joins Washington Creek about 1 mile downstream of the Dome Creek junction. Eagle Creek is about 5 miles long. The coordinates are for the center of mining activity along Eagle Creek, in section 33, T. 4 N., R. 27 E., of the Fairbanks Meridian, although placer mining and prospecting probably took place along the length of the creek. The location is accurate to within 1 mile. This creek is located within Doyon, Limited selected or conveyed land. |
