1950 Map of Mount Hayes A-3

About this map

Paxson serves as the primary outpost on this mid-century survey, situated at the critical junction where the Richardson Highway meets the path toward the high interior. The landscape is defined by the massive retreat of the Gulkana Glacier and Gakona Glacier, which feed a complex network of braided streams and glacial lakes. The presence of a Landing Strip near the settlement underscores the region's reliance on bush aviation for access to the more remote peaks like Wolverine Mountain.
