1954 Map of McGrath D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

McGrath serves as the focal point of this interior Alaskan landscape, situated at the confluence of the Takotna River and the braided Kuskokwim River. The map captures a period of transition and remote infrastructure, noted by the presence of Old McGrath (Aband) and a variety of aviation landmarks including a heliport and multiple landing strips. The interior geography is defined by complex water systems like the Tatalina River and Katlitna River, alongside the elevated Roundabout Hills. Resource extraction and river transport are evident at the Candle (Placer) mine and Sterling Landing. The layout of local cabins and radio facilities reflects the mid-century reliance on river corridors and early bush aviation for connectivity in the Alaskan wilderness.
