About this map

The Stampede Antimony Mine stands as a prominent industrial landmark in this mid-century survey of the interior Alaskan wilderness. Located near the Stampede Landing Strip in the northern portion of the quadrangle, the mine represents the region's historical mineral extraction efforts before the area was fully integrated into the protected Denali National Park. The landscape is dominated by the braided channels of the Toklat River and the complex drainage systems of the Clearwater Fork and Stony Creek.

High elevations are marked by the Wyoming Hills and peaks such as Mt Sheldon and Divide Mtn. This period of mapping shows the early infrastructure of the park, including the Toklat Campground and a simple Trail system, providing a look at the region after its initial 1952 aerial survey but before modern intensive development. The map also delineates the extensive Denali Wilderness boundaries that shape the preservation of these glacial river valleys.
