| Relative position | Macklin Creek is the northeast headwater tributary of Kougarok River. Macklin Creek joins with Washington Creek to become Kougarok River in the northcentral Bendeleben C-6 quadrangle. This location includes areas of placer mining on Macklin Creek that continues upstream across the Bendeleben C-6 and D-6 quadrangle boundary. Sainsbury and others (1969) show 8,500 feet of continuous placer workings along the main channel of Macklin Creek starting 4,500 feet upstream of the mouth. This is locality 26 of Cobb (1972; MF 417; 1975; OFR 75-429). |
