1951 Map of McCarthy C-8

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Kuskulana River and its massive Kuskulana Glacier dominate this Alaskan landscape, where glacial waters feed a complex network of drainages including the Kotsina River and Kluvesna River. Small clusters of cabins along the rivers and a solitary trail suggest a landscape used for seasonal prospecting or trapping in the mid-20th century. High-altitude landmarks like Skyscraper Peak and Granite Peak provide orientation for navigating the terrain between Dixie Pass and Kuskulana Pass. The presence of Mac Dougall and several unnamed cabins indicates specific points of localized activity near the confluence of Clear Creek and Sheep Creek. This 1951 field-annotated map serves as a record of the drainage patterns and peaks long before significant modern infrastructure reached this part of the Copper River Meridian.
