Location: Neva Creek is a small east tributary to Kougarok River. The Nome-Taylor road crosses Neva Creek at about mile 85.6. The road crossing is 1,000 feet upstream of the creek mouth on Kougarok River. The creek mouth is about 12,000 feet upstream of the Kougarok bridge on the Nome-Taylor road. Placer gold mining appears to have been on the lower part of the creek near Kougarok River. This is locality 39 of Cobb (1972; MF 417; 1975; OFR 75-429).
Geology: Shallow gravels, presumably on bedrock, were mined early in the century (Collier, 1902). Placer gold mining appears to have been mined on the lower part of the creek near Kougarok River. Bedrock in the area is extensively tundra-covered and is not exposed (Till and others, 1986).
Workings: Small scale, surface placer mine workings are probably present but they have not been described.
