1952 Map of Mount McKinley C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Kantishna and the rugged Kantishna Hills define this interior Alaskan landscape during the mid-1950s. The region is marked by active resource extraction, evidenced by numerous Placer Mines and specific operations like the Red Top Mine and Little Annie Mine. Human presence is concentrated around the gold-bearing drainages of Moose Creek and Eureka Creek, where scattered cabins and the establishment of Camp Denali suggest a transition between industrial mining and early park tourism. High-elevation landmarks such as Quigley Ridge and Wickersham Dome overlook a network of primitive transport routes, including the Caribou Trail, a Jeep Trail, and a Tractor Trail. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Mt McKinley National Park boundary, with the Denali Highway providing the primary access through the Upper Canyon.
