1954 Map of Mount McKinley B-1

About this map

The Eielson Visitors Center serves as a focal point within Mt McKinley National Park, situated where the Thorofare River and Gorge Creek meet. This mid-century survey illustrates the corridor of the Park Road as it winds through high-altitude terrain, passing landmarks such as the Stony Hill Overlook and crossing Highway Pass. The landscape is dominated by massive ice features, most notably the sprawling Muldrow Glacier, which flows past Green Point and Mt Eielson. To the south and east, the Sunset Glacier and West Fork Glacier carve through the peaks near Scott Peak and Sunset Peak. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns from Moose Creek to the Thorofare River, documenting the intricate network of glacial runoff and mountain passes that defined travel in the park during the 1950s.
