1954 Map of Mount McKinley C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Foraker River and Herron River systems dominate this interior Alaskan landscape as it was documented in the early 1950s. The region is defined by a dense network of subarctic wetlands and named water bodies including Old Cache Lake, Spectacle Lake, and the descriptive Doghouse Lake. A single Cabin stands near the northern reaches of the sheet, suggesting a point of seasonal habitation or trapping along the river corridors. The drainage patterns are intricate, with features like Hot Slough and Deep Creek feeding into the larger glacial river basins. To the south, the terrain begins to rise toward the high peaks beyond the map's edge, characterized by larger bodies of water such as Big Long Lake and Live Trap Lake. This survey reflects the remote character of the territory prior to the expansion of modern park infrastructure.
