1952 Map of Mount McKinley B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Muldrow Glacier dominates the southwestern corner of this survey, carving a path through the interior of Mt McKinley National Park. The landscape is a complex network of glacial ice and high-altitude peaks, where the Thorofare River and Moose Creek drain the melting runoff of the Sunset Glacier and West Fork Glacier. The Denali Highway winds through the northern portion of the map, crossing notable landmarks like Stony Hill and Highway Pass, providing a rare corridor of human access through this wilderness. This mid-century view documents the ice coverage and named summits during the early 1950s, capturing the position of the park's primary road before its modern paving. Higher elevations are marked by prominent summits such as Mt Eielson, Scott Peak, and Mt Galen, while the dividing line between the Fourth Judicial Division and Third Judicial Division cuts through the southern mountains near Anderson Pass.
