Location: Frisbe Creek was described by Reed (1938) as a right-limit tributary to the South Fork, Koyukuk River; it is about 2.5 miles upstream from Davis Creek and just upstream of Grubstake Bar (WI153). Based on Reed's description, Frisbe Creek is inferred to be the south-flowing tributary to the South Fork whose mouth is approximately 0.3 mile upstream from the mouth of Bear Creek. The location of placer activity along the creek is unknown; its location is arbitrarily placed near the mouth of the creek. The location is accurate within one mile.
Geology: Reed (1938) did not visit Frisbe Creek. He reported that the Frisbe brothers had mined and prospected the creek in the early 1900's, and that no one had mined it since that time. Reed did not know the extent of the mining.
Age: Quaternary.
Commodities (Major) - Au
Development Status: Undetermined.
Deposit Model: Placer Au (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 39a)
