A gold-rush era heavy-equipment landing for getting machinery and supplies into the Iditarod mining areas.

From www.dnr.state.ak.us/mlw//trails/rs2477/rst_legal.cfm?FI... :
Cripple Landing Existed By 1907 As A Supply Drop-Off Point For the Various Mining Operations in the Region, But Rennies Landing Provided A More Reliable Landing Due To Water Levels On the Innoko River Which Sometimes Made Cripple Landing Less Accessible. [...] I Asked Mr. StrandBerg When the Route RST #732 Cripple Landing-Rennies Landing (South) Was First Used. He Said the Route Was Used in 1936, Maybe A Year Or So Earlier. [...]the Rennies Landing-Cripple Landing (South) Route Was Used From 1936 Into the 1950s and As Far Up As the 1960s.
