1994 Map of McCarthy B-4

About this map

Glacial valleys and industrial prospects define this remote Alaskan landscape within the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and National Preserve. The map documents a significant history of resource exploration, notably centering on the copper and mineral potential near Radovan Gulch and the Nelson Prospect. An Aerial Tramway and the Glacier Creek Landing Strip suggest the immense logistical challenges of 20th-century mining operations in the shadow of peaks like Mount Holmes and Andrus Peak. To the south, Rex Glacier and Rex Creek indicate the persistent ice-dominated environment. Small settlements and camps, such as Dan and various unnamed Cabin sites, dot the gulches near Copper Creek and Nikolai Gulch, marking the footprint of those who worked the land during the era of mid-century topographic compilation.
