1953 Map of Mount McKinley C-5

About this map

Glacial drainage and intricate wetlands define this subarctic landscape in the mid-twentieth century. The Foraker River and Herron River dominate the drainage pattern, meandering through a labyrinth of unnamed ponds and marshes characteristic of the interior Alaskan tundra. Evidence of human presence is sparse but specific, noted by a single Cabin near the eastern riverbank and the descriptive Old Cache Lake, suggesting a history of seasonal trapping or subsistence use.
