About this map

The high copper-mining era of the Wrangell Mountains is preserved in this map, focused on the drainage of the Chitina River and its major tributaries. The settlement of McCarthy serves as a central hub, surrounded by legendary lode operations like the Bonanza Mine, Jumbo Mine, Mother Lode Mine, and Erie Mine perched above the Kennicott Glacier. These industrial sites represent a massive capital investment in one of the world's most challenging environments during the mid-twentieth century.
