About this map

The copper-rich reaches of the Wrangell Mountains are documented here during a period of mid-century geological survey, highlighting the industrial legacy of the Copper River region. The settlement of McCarthy serves as a focal point, surrounded by a dense concentration of legendary mineral claims including the Bonanza Mine, Jumbo Mine, Erie Mine, and Mother Lode Mine. These sites, connected by a tractor trail, represent the high-altitude extraction efforts that defined the local economy and settlement patterns during the early 20th century.
