1954 Map of McGrath D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

McGrath and its surrounding wilderness at the confluence of the Takotna River and the Kuskokwim River define the interior Alaskan landscape in this mid-century survey. The settlement of Old McGrath is marked as abandoned on the northern riverbank, signaling the community's shift to its modern location. This shift, along with the presence of a Heliport, Radio Facility, and Gaging Sta, underscores the importance of aviation and communication in this isolated region. To the south, the intricate oxbows and sloughs of the Kuskokwim River wrap around Harrell Island, while the Roundabout Hills and Mountains rise above the drainage basins. Industrial activity is noted at the Candle Placer mine along Candle Creek, supported by the remote Candle Creek Landing Strip, illustrating the persistent search for minerals in the Yukon-Koyukuk territory.
