1951 Map of McCarthy

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The Wrangell Mountains dominate this 1951 reconnaissance survey, showing a landscape defined by massive ice fields and the high peaks of the Alaska interior. The settlement of McCarthy stands as a primary hub for the region, positioned near the confluence of the Nizina River and the Kennicott glacier system. This map documents a transitional era in Alaskan transport, where traditional overland routes are supplemented by remote infrastructure like the Airstrip near McCarthy and the Bremner Airstrip to the south.
