Location: Lucky Creek does not appear on the B-3 topographic map but it is a local name for the northeast continuation of Rye Creek. The point where Rye Creek supposedly becomes Lucky Creek is unclear but is assumed to be a point about 1 mile southeast of the mouth of Jay Creek. The location of placer prospects on Lucky Creek is not known and these prospects are somewhat arbitrarily located on the creek at an elevation of about 1,950 feet in the SW1/4 section 26, T. 30 N., R. 17 W., of the Fairbanks Meridian.
Geology: According to Reed (1938), Lucky Creek, flows entirely on schist. It was extensively prospected in the early 1900's, with recovery of small amounts of gold. However, there is no information to suggest any significant mining.
Workings: Prospecting only.
Age: Quaternary.
