1952 Map of Mount McKinley

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Mt McKinley and the massive Muldrow Glacier dominate this 1950s interior Alaska landscape, detailing a region defined by its monumental peaks and ice fields. In the northern reaches of Mt McKinley National Park, the map reveals early extraction sites like the Stampede Antimony Mine and Little Annie Mine, illustrating the territory's mid-century mining interests. Small settlements and landing areas such as Kantishna, Diamond, and Minchumina anchor the remote river systems, connected by an primitive network of trails and a designated Sled Road. The drainage patterns of the Kantishna River, Foraker River, and Swift Fork Kuskokwim River reveal the complex hydraulic geography between the Munsatli Mountains and the Alaska Range, where large bodies of water like Lake Minchumina and Wonder Lake provided critical landmarks for early bush pilots and explorers.
