Location: This placer occurrence is on Central Creek, a south-flowing tributary of the Kuskokwim River whose mouth is about 9 miles upstream from the village of Crooked Creek. About one mile of the creek was prospected; the center of this area is about 1.4 miles from the mouth of Central Creek in the NE 1/4 sec. 29, T. 21 N., R. 47 W., of the Seward Meridian. The location is accurate. The occurrence is locality 5 of Miller and others (1989).
Geology: Cady and others (1955) reported placer prospecting for gold along about for about 1.5 miles of lower Central Creek. Very little information is available for this occurrence. The rocks in the area consist of shale and sandstone of the Upper Cretaceous Kuskokwim Group (Cady and others, 1955; Miller and others, 1989).
Workings: Some prospecting prior to 1955.
Age: Undated, but probably Quaternary.
