1960 Map of McCarthy

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

McCarthy and the surrounding copper-rich wilderness of the Wrangell - St. Elias National Park and Wilderness define this mid-century survey. The map documents the industrial legacy of the region, specifically the high-altitude mining operations such as the Erie Mine, Jumbo Mine, and Mother Lode Mine located northeast of the main settlement. These sites are positioned amidst a massive glacial system where the Kennicott Glacier and Root Glacier converge near Donoho. To the south, the Chitina River valley serves as a primary corridor, fed by tributaries like the Nizina River and Tana River. The map also captures the remote outposts of Chititu Camp and May Creek, illustrating the scattered pattern of habitation required for mineral extraction in this demanding Alaskan interior. The eastern edge transition into the White River basin at the international border with the United States Canada boundary.
