1954 Map of Mount McKinley C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The McKinley River and Foraker River dominate this mid-century Alaskan landscape, showcasing a complex network of braided glacial streams and tundra ponds. Based on 1952 aerial photography, the map detail captures the shifting hydraulic patterns of the Birch Creek and Slippery Creek drainages. In the northern reaches, the label Slowy identifies a specific wetland area or slough system amidst the vast, uninhabited terrain. This 1:63,360 scale study is primarily a record of natural topography and hydrological features, emphasizing the intricate water courses that define the northern slopes of the Alaska Range before modern development or intensive tourism access reached this interior wilderness.
