1952 Map of Mount McKinley

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Mt Mc Kinley and the high peaks of the Alaska Range dominate this 1952 reconnaissance, capturing the interior during a period of active mining and early park management. The landscape is defined by massive ice systems including the Muldrow Glacier and Eldridge Glacier, which feed the complex drainage of the Kantishna River and McKinley River. To the north and west, the terrain transitions into lower wetlands and lakes, notably Lake Minchumina and the settlement of Telida. Industrial activity is evident at the Stampede Antimony Mine and Little Annie Mine near the mining camp of Kantishna, while a Sled Road provides a primary transit link through the interior. Notable interior landmarks such as Camp Eielson and the Myrtle Creek Cabin sit within the Mt Mc Kinley National Park boundary, illustrating the remote infrastructure of the era before modern development reshaped access to the park's core.
