Cape Nome Mining District Discovery Sites
Cape Nome Mining District Discovery Sites, Mining historic district in Nome Census Area, United States.
The Cape Nome Mining District includes four primary gold discovery sites spreading across 68 acres of land in Alaska's western region.
Gold prospectors first discovered deposits at Anvil Creek in September 1898, leading to Alaska's largest gold placer strike and attracting 20,000 miners by 1900.
Three Swedish miners initiated the Nome gold rush, marking a significant period in American frontier expansion and northern territory development.
The district contains multiple mining claims, including Anvil Creek, Erik Lindblom Placer, Snow Creek Placer, and Nome Beach locations.
Miners extracted gold worth 50 million dollars between 1898 and 1907, with 75 percent coming from Nome region streams.
