1954 Map of Mount McKinley A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Mt McKinley National Park dominates the eastern landscape of this 1954 survey, with its National Park Boundary cutting a straight diagonal across the terrain. The hydrological pattern is defined by the braided channels of the Mc Kinley Fork Kuskokwim River flowing through the southern valleys, while the Herron River meanders through the northeast. This wilderness expanse shows a complex network of smaller waterways like Highpower Creek and Dry Creek, which drain the northern slopes near the Cottonwood Hills. The map reflects a period before modern infrastructure reached this interior portion of the Alaska-Fourth Judicial Division, preserving a snapshot of the raw topography and drainage systems that defined the region’s geography during the mid-twentieth century.
