History of Marvel Creek

Naming: Prospectors' name reported in 1914 by A. G. Maddren (in Brooks, 1915, pl. 11), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

There was active mining along Marvel Creek in 1910 by Dan McCarty, Bill Beavens, and Sanford “Sam” L. Godfrey. Later in 1940 the small Marvel Creek Mining Company operated out there run by Henry DuRand, Fritz
Awe, and Luther Hess. They mined with using a dragline, tractors, and bulldozers. Practically all of the placer gravel on Marvel Creek is naturally thawed, so that it can be readily dug. An adequate supply of water flowing on a good gradient is reported to have been available at all times during the open season.
