1954 Map of Mount McKinley B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Mt McKinley National Park dominates this subarctic landscape during the mid-1950s, revealing a wilderness defined by glacial drainages and mining activity. The northeast corner is notably busy with human enterprise, centered around the Antimony Mine and the Slate mining area within the Kantishna Hills. These operations are connected by a mapped Trail that skirts Brooker Mtn, providing a look at the early resource extraction era before modern infrastructure reached deep into the interior. To the south and west, the terrain transitions into a complex network of wetlands and shifting waterways. The braided Muddy River cuts through the McKinley Gorge and spills out over the McKinley Bar, while long drainages like Slippery Creek and Birch Creek flow through broad valleys of unsurveyed land.
