1954 Map of Mount McKinley A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Muldrow Glacier and its surrounding high-altitude ridges dominate this 1954 topographical survey, illustrating the complex glacial systems of Mount Mc Kinley National Park. The map documents the dramatic ice-carved topography including the Northwest Fork of the Ruth Glacier and the headwaters of the Traleika Glacier. Significant climbing landmarks are identified along Karstens Ridge, such as Browne Tower and Karstens Col, which represent critical points for high-altitude exploration and mountaineering history. The convergence of Carpe Ridge and Pioneer Ridge showcases the drainage patterns into the Peters Glacier, while the southeastern portion reveals the vast extent of the Eldridge Glacier. This survey captures the wilderness state of the Alaska Range before modern glacial retreat, marking specific summits like Mount Silverthrone and Mount Brooks.
