1959 Map of McCarthy B-6

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

McCarthy and Blackburn sit at the edge of the massive Kennicott Glacier, serving as key points of human activity during this late 1950s survey. The landscape is defined by the braided channels of the Nizina River and Chitina River, which dominate the central and southern portions of the map. Evidence of the region's industrial and transportation history is clear from the Old Railroad Grade and various Tractor Trails that cross the terrain. The presence of Cem and Graves near the settlements, along with scattered Cabins, provides a localized view of the resident population. High above the river valleys, Fireweed Mountain anchors the northern topography, overlooking smaller water bodies like Camel Lake and Wheat Lake that dot the lower elevations between the major river forks.
