1952 Map of Anchorage D-6
USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
Mining operations and high mountain peaks dominate this early 1950s survey of the northern Talkeetna Mountains. The map reveals a high-altitude industrial landscape centered on the Little Susitna River and Willow Creek drainages. Hard-rock gold and mineral extraction are evidenced by a dense cluster of workings, including the Snowbird Mine, Mabel Mine, and Fern Mine, as well as several exploration sites like the Arch Prospect. The Little Susitna Roadhouse appears as a vital waypoint for travelers and miners navigating this glacial terrain. High peaks such as Montana Peak and Idaho Peak rise above the branching waters of the Kashwitna River, while the Mint Glacier highlights the active glacial processes still shaping the high valleys of Arkose Ridge.
