1959 Map of McCarthy B-7

About this map

The Chitina River flows across this Alaskan landscape, defining the topography south of the Crystalline Hills. An Old Railroad Grade runs parallel to the river valley, marking the legacy of earlier industrial transportation through the wilderness near Crystal Creek. The map shows a series of alpine lakes, including Moose Lake, Lakina Lake, and Long Lake, which dot the terrain between the high peaks and the river's braided channels. A single Landing Strip and an isolated Cabin indicate the sparse human footprint in this area during the late 1950s. To the north, the Gilahina River and Lakina River descend from higher elevations, feeding into the main Chitina drainage. This document, based on 1957 aerial photography and 1959 field annotations, reflects a period when many land lines remained unsurveyed and unmarked by the Bureau of Land Management.
