1952 Map of Healy A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Clearwater Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape, recorded shortly after the construction of the Denali Highway. The settlement of Denali sits along the Susitna River in the northwest, serving as a hub for the mining activity concentrated around Gold Hill and Lucky Hill. The prominence of gold-mining legacy is visible through numerous named watercourses such as Valdez Creek, Lucky Gulch, and Sunny Gulch. The mapping of several Airstrip locations and the rugged road network reflects the logistical challenges of Alaskan interior life before widespread infrastructure. Between the peaks, features like Swampbuggy Lake and Hatchet Lake dot the valleys, while the West Fork and South Fork drainage patterns illustrate the complex glacial hydrology of the Matanuska-Susitna region.
