1959 Map of McCarthy A-7

About this map

Hanagita River flows through the northern reaches of this Alaskan interior, connecting the Middle Hanagita Lake and Upper Hanagita Lakes. The landscape is dominated by high glacial terrain and steep drainages, where prospectors and bush pilots operated mid-century. Industry is visible near the center of the sheet, marked by the Yellowband Mine and an associated Aqueduct, reflecting the persistent search for minerals in this drainage basin. To the south, the Bremner Landing Strip served as a critical point of access for this remote area, situated near the confluence of Golconda Creek and Standard Creek. The mapping reveals a network of Trails and isolated Cabin locations that speak to the seasonal life of miners and trappers along Monahan Creek and Gold Creek during the late 1950s.
