1954 Map of Mount McKinley D-1

About this map

The Mt McKinley National Park boundary defines the southern portion of this mid-century interior Alaskan landscape, where the braided channels of the Toklat River and Kantishna River dominate the drainage system. The area reflects a transient wilderness economy of the 1950s, marked by scattered cabins and a Placer Mine near Marten Creek. Transportation relies on the natural geography and seasonal routes, specifically the Winter Trail and the Stampede Landing Strip located near the Clearwater Fork.
