1959 Map of McCarthy B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Green Butte Mine and the Nikolai Mine are prominent fixtures in this landscape of high-altitude resource extraction, where the mountain slopes meet the wide, braided channels of the Nizina River. The era of heavy mechanical mining is evident in the presence of Dredge Tailings along the watercourses and an Aerial Tram serving Green Butte. Transportation in this isolated region relied on the McCarthy May Creek Road and specialized infrastructure like the May Creek Landing Strip to reach the settlement at May Creek.
