1958 Map of Mount McKinley

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The high peaks of the Mount McKinley National Park dominate the southeastern landscape, anchored by the massive elevation of Mount McKinley and Mount Foraker. To the north and west, the terrain transitions into a dense network of water bodies and wetlands, including the expansive Lake Minchumina and the sprawling Beaverlog Lakes. This mid-century survey illustrates the early infrastructure of the park and surrounding wilderness, featuring the Denali Highway as it traverses through Thorofare Pass and Highway Pass. Remote outposts and human activity are marked by the Toklat Ranger Sta, the small settlement of Kantishna, and the Busia Cabin near Wonder Lake. Waterways like the Foraker River and Herron River drain the glacial heights toward the Kuskokwim River valley, while localized navigation is supported by a Landing Strip north of Hog Joes Lake.
