Location: Confederate Gulch is a small drainage west of the Middle Fork, Koyukuk River; it is about 3.5 miles north-northeast of Wiseman. Placer prospecting extends from the coordinates given above where the creek enters the valley of the Middle Fork, Koyukuk River, and continues upstream for about 4,000 feet. The location is accurate.
Geology: Confederate Gulch was prospected extensively in the early 1900's and some coarse gold was recovered during prospecting (Maddren, 1913). The amount of gold, however, was insufficient to justify intensive mining.
Workings: Prospecting only.
Age: Quaternary.
