1959 Map of McCarthy C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Bonanza Mine and the Erie Mine sit at the edge of a landscape dominated by massive ice flows and high mountain summits. In this late 1950s survey, industrial activity is captured alongside the formidable geography of the Kennicott Glacier and its tributaries, including the Gates Glacier and Root Glacier. The presence of a Tractor Road provides a clear indication of the overland transport routes used to access these high-elevation mineral sites near the Stairway Glacier. Distinctive landmarks like Packsaddle Island and Donoho Peak rise above the ice, while drainage patterns are marked by Hidden Creek Lake and the waters of Fourth of July Creek. The map meticulously records the dangerous terrain of the region, noting numerous crevasses that break the surface of the glaciers.
