1954 Map of Mount McKinley C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Kantishna and the surrounding mining district appear in detail during the mid-1950s, highlighting a landscape defined by gold extraction and wilderness transit. Multiple Placer Mines dot the drainages of Glacier Creek and Caribou Creek, while a Tractor Trail and Jeep Trail provide the primary links between working sites and small outposts like Busia. The transition from industrial activity to protected wilderness is marked by the Mt McKinley National Park Boundary, which cuts across the southern portion of the map near Camp Denali. Prominent summits including Wickersham Dome and Kankone Peak loom over the drainage basins of the Bearpaw River and Moose Creek, illustrating the difficult terrain encountered by mid-century prospectors and early park rangers.
