The Kink
The Kink is a manmade feature of the North Fork Fortymile River in remote eastern Alaska. It is a channel that was blasted through a rock ridge by gold miners in 1904, in the belief that a horseshoe-shaped meander that the river's flow would bypass by the creation of the channel would be rich in gold (it wasn't). The area includes the remnants of a small mining camp. The creation of the channel was a major engineering feat of the time, given the remote location and harsh climate (conditions that continue to apply today).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for The Kink )〕 The Kink was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.〔 ==See also==
