Indeed. That's Bonanza Creek near Dawson City.

Close enough, Bonanza Creek is a little to the west. Klondike River, home of the Klondike Gold Rush.

Sorry. I figured it was the gold rush and then looked around for the exact right spot.

No problem. Only off by a mile and some.

You guys ever hear of Sourdough Hill at Dawson? Everyone thought the sourdoughs staking claims there were nuts, cause everyone was doing placer mining and these new guys were digging into the hill itself. But the big hill was the site of a paleo-river which had huge placer deposits, and they all went home rich.

Good for them but anyone who went to the Klondike was nuts.

Hint #1: another historically-significant gold mining district.

Weren't you & @scatman discussing this area recently??

Anyway, Sunnyside mine etc near Monumental Creek & Lightning Peak/Thunder Mtn, ID

A old and obscure mining area in AK. Cool name for the local village, and everyone mispronounces it.

Sort of similar to what @Rockskipper said about the Klondike, originally placer mined but now, being developed as a hard rock mine. Not that that will help at all, just a note of interest.

Chititu?

 

[Outdoor_Fool]

@Rockskipper In a word, nope.

Overdue hint: West of Nebraska.

West of Nebraska but East of the Tetons.
