1954 Map of Mount Hayes B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Black Rapids Glacier and the massive Canwell Glacier dominate this rugged interior landscape where the Delta River carves a path through the Alaska Range. During the mid-twentieth century, the Richardson Highway served as the primary artery for northern transport, passing through the Black Rapids Training Site and past remote waypoints like Trims Camp. The map documents a transition in local commerce and travel, noting the Millers Roadhouse (Abandoned) and a small Miller Mine nearby. The glacial activity is highly detailed, showing the terminus of the Castner Glacier and the drainage patterns of Phelan Creek and Rainbow Creek against the steep elevations of Rainbow Mountain and the Rainbow Ridge. These topographical details provide a precise record of ice positions and high-altitude terrain near Rainy Mountain and Mt Silvertip before late-century shifts.
