Nothing on this page is confirmed. This page is an index of what people have written in public — forum posts, videos, blogs, club pages and news. LocalKarat has not verified any of it. A mention is not permission, not proof of gold, and not evidence that the ground is open: the stretch may be under an active claim, inside a park or protected area, on private property, or on reserve or treaty land. Check the claim registry and the land status yourself, and get permission before you dig.
Approximate area of Prairie Creek in Northwest Territories — a circle, not a precise location
Waterbody precision — the gold circle has roughly a 6 km radius around the geocoded place name. The circle covers the named waterbody, not a spot on it. There is deliberately no pin: we do not have, and would not publish, a precise spot. © Mapbox © OpenStreetMap

How this page was made

A research pass collected public mentions of prospecting on named Canadian waterbodies — forums, video descriptions, blogs, club sites, tourism and government pages. Only public pages were read. The centre point comes from geocoding the place name against public Canadian place-name data, never from coordinates in anyone's post, which is why the map shows a circle at waterbody precision rather than a point.
