1954 Map of Mount McKinley C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Kantishna and the surrounding mining claims anchor this mid-century survey of the interior wilderness, a landscape defined by its extractive history and the boundaries of Denali National Park. The map details the complex drainage systems of Moose Creek and the Bearpaw River, where early 20th-century gold prospecting left its mark via several Placer Mines and the Red Top Mine. High-elevation landmarks like Wickersham Dome and Quigley Ridge overlook a network of seasonal access routes, including a prominent Winter Trail in the northwest. This era of the park's history is further evidenced by the location of Camp Denali and a remote Landing Strip, illustrating the limited but critical infrastructure serving researchers and mountaineers in the shadow of Glacier Peak and Kankone Peak before modern expansion.
