1954 Map of Mount McKinley A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Mt McKinley National Park is dominated by a massive glacial system in this mid-century survey, showcasing the high-altitude ice fields and sharp ridges that define the Alaska Range. The Muldrow Glacier flows through the northern reaches, fed by the Gunsight Pass and passing beneath McGonagall Mountain. Significant climbing landmarks are identified along the approach to the great peaks, including Karstens Ridge, Browne Tower, and Parker Pass. To the south, the landscape is defined by the sprawling Ruth Glacier and the wide Ruth Amphitheatre, which receive ice from the North Fork and Northwest Fork. The map records the precise positions of numerous summits such as Mount Silverthrone and Mount Deception, providing a high-resolution view of the terrain before later decades of glacial recession.
