1958 Map of Mount McKinley C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Munsatli Ridge and the Snohomish Hills dominate the northern landscape of this interior Alaska region, giving way to a vast network of wetlands and namesake water bodies to the south. The mapping, based on aerial photography from the mid-1950s, reveals a remote wilderness where transport was largely dictated by the seasons. A significant Winter Trail cuts across the center of the sheet, providing a primary overland route through the muskeg and past numerous lakes such as Thirtyeight Mile Lake, Fortymile Lake, and Sprucefish Lake. Isolated Cabins are noted near the intersection of these trails and waterways, likely serving as essential shelter for trappers or travelers navigating the drainage basins of Highpower Creek and Lonestar Creek. The sheer density of named lakes, including Spirit Lake, Otter Lake, and Big Lake, underscores the water-saturated nature of the terrain before later development or environmental shifts altered the region's character.
