The George McGregor Cabin on the Yukon River, about two miles downstream from Coal Creek, in the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve of Alaska is a historic Log cabin built in 1938 that was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
George McGregor was a successful gold miner, who staked multiple gold claims including the "discovery claim" on Mineral Creek, a tributary of Woodchopper Creek, which he worked for about 10 years and then sold these in the mid-1930s. Then he switched to trapping for furs; in 1938 he built this cabin and developed a trapline. As the trapline would be operated in the winter, by dogsled visits, he fished in the summer for food for his dogs using a fishwheel. The cabin is a one-roomed saddle-notched log cabin which is representative of what trappers used.
