1951 Map of McCarthy C-8

About this map

Kuskulana River and the glacial drainages of the Kotsina River dominate this interior Alaskan landscape during the mid-twentieth century. The map documents a rugged wilderness characterized by high peaks and significant glacial activity, notably the Kuskulana Glacier in the east. Clusters of cabins along the watercourses suggest intermittent human presence, likely related to prospecting or seasonal hunting, positioned near landmarks like The Peninsula and Skyscraper Peak.
