1958 Map of McGrath B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Farewell Airport anchors the northwestern corner of this interior Alaskan landscape, serving as a vital transport link in an area defined by massive mountain ranges and intricate river systems. The survey illustrates the dramatic elevation changes between the Terra Cotta Mountains in the southeast and the lower drainage basins to the north. Water dominates the geography, with the Post River and the S Fk Kuskokwim R carving paths through the high country. Several distinctive peaks, including Egypt Mountain and the prominent Tunis Mountain, provide navigational landmarks for the region. Numerous alpine water bodies such as Veleska Lake, Charlie Lake, and the High Lakes are scattered throughout the northern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex glacial and runoff patterns typical of this subarctic environment in the late 1950s.
