1959 Map of McCarthy B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The high-alpine mining landscape of the Wrangell Mountains is captured in this late-1950s survey, documenting the industrial remains and seasonal settlements of the region. Green Butte Mine and the Nikolai Mine stand as significant markers of the copper and gold fever that drove development in this remote interior. Evidence of complex logistics is found in the Aerial Tram and Tramway installations near National Creek, which were essential for moving ore across the steep terrain of Bonanza Ridge.
