1953 Map of Mount McKinley D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Geographic Center of Alaska is the defining landmark of this 1953 survey, situated near the marshy confluence of the Foraker River and Muddy River. The landscape is dominated by the expansive Lake Minchumina, a major interior water body featuring Moose Island and the prominent Yutokh Hill on its eastern shore. At this time, the settlement of Lake Minchumina served as a remote outpost, supported by a designated Landing Area for bush pilots and a network of seasonal transport routes labeled as Sled Road.
