Location: Snowshoe Gulch is an east tributary to Cripple River; the mouth of the Snowshoe Gulch stream is 1.3 miles upstream from where the Nome-Teller road crosses Cripple River. The location is of one claim located in 1977 and reported as Kardex site Kx 52-330 (Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys, 1982). The claim is at an elevation of about 500 feet on Snowshoe Gulch; its location is approximate.
Geology: Gold can be panned from Snowshoe Gulch, and this claim was probably staked for placer gold. Bedrock of Snowshoe Gulch is almost entirely massive marble (Bundtzen and others, 1994).
