1951 Map of McCarthy C-8

About this map

The glacial and fluvial drainage systems of the Wrangell Mountains dominate this 1950s-era topographic study. The Kuskulana Glacier serves as the primary headwater for the Kuskulana River, which carves south through the center of the sheet. High-altitude landmarks like Skyscraper Peak and Granite Peak overlook a network of gold-bearing drainages including Nugget Creek and Porcupine Creek. Small clusters of Cabins are noted along the banks of the Kuskulana River and Mac Dougall Creek, indicating the scattered presence of trappers or prospectors in this demanding environment. In the northwest, the Kluvesna River creates a unique landform known as The Peninsula. Further south, a lone Trail traverses the valley floor, connecting the riparian zones of Slatka Creek and the Chokosna River.
