1951 Map of Mount Hayes C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Trident Glacier dominates the western portion of this high-altitude landscape, its expansive flow marked by complex networks of Crevasses. Surveyed in the early 1950s with minor revisions later in the decade, the terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of the Alaska Range, including the towering Mount Moffit and Mount Shand. To the north, the boundary of Fort Greely indicates the military presence in this subarctic wilderness, while the eastern reaches are carved by the Mc Ginnis Glacier descending from Mc Ginnis Peak. The map provides a detailed view of these massive ice fields before mid-century glacial retreat patterns became a primary focus of modern study, preserving the exact mid-century footprints of landmarks like Mount Pillsbury and the remote outpost of Hayes.
