1949 Map of Nabesna D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Mentasta Lake and its surrounding mountain passes dominate this 1949 interior Alaska landscape, captured during a period of transition for northern transportation. The map reveals the critical geographic importance of Mentasta Pass, where the Glenn Highway follows a path through the Mentasta Mountains, paralleling the older historic Eagle Trail. Along the shores of Mentasta Lake, the presence of Ruins and a Lodge near a Landing Strip suggests a mid-century hub for travelers and local transport in an otherwise remote wilderness.
