1953 Map of Mount McKinley B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Mt McKinley National Park encompasses a significant portion of this mid-century topographic study, defined by its braided glacial river systems and high-altitude terrain. The Foraker River dominates the western half of the sheet, carving a wide, multi-channeled path through the landscape as it flows northward. To the east, Birch Creek and Slippery Creek drain the upland slopes, illustrating the complex hydrological network of the Alaska Range before modern development. A prominent National Park Boundary (Approximate) bisects the quadrangle diagonally, separating protected wilderness from the surrounding territory. This 1953 data, based on 1952 aerial photography, provides a snapshot of the region's wilderness character and natural drainage patterns, including smaller tributaries like White Creek.
