Rampart (Koyukon: Dleł Taaneets [t͡ɬəɬ tʰæːniːt͡sʰ]) is a census-designated place (CDP) in Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, Alaska, United States.
Novelist Rex Beach (1877-1949) moved to Rampart in 1900, during the Klondike Gold Rush (1896-1899); although his prospecting efforts were of little success, the experience led to the publication of The Spoilers, one of three novels written by Beach that made it to Publishers Weekly list of bestselling novels in the United States in the 1900s.
In the 1950s, a large hydroelectric project called the Rampart Dam was considered for the Yukon River near the village.
Had the project been completed, it would have created the largest man-made reservoir in the world.
[2] According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 168.8 square miles (437 km2), all of it land.
As of the census[6] of 2000,[needs update] there were 45 people, 20 households, and 10 families residing in the CDP.
