1954 Map of Mount McKinley B-1

About this map

Muldrow Glacier dominates the southwestern quadrant of this 1954 survey, showcasing the ice-carved topography of what is now Denali National Park. The Denali Park Road winds across the northern half of the map, reaching notable points of interest such as the Stony Hill Overlook and the Eielson Visitors Center. This area, deeply influenced by glacial activity, features several prominent ice fields including Sunset Glacier and West Fork Glacier, which feed into complex river systems like the Thorofare River. High-altitude passes such as Highway Pass and Anderson Pass provide critical crossing points through the high terrain surrounding Mount Eielson and Scott Peak. The map provides a detailed view of the backcountry landscape prior to later modern expansions, marked by the extensive Denali Wilderness boundary.
