2016 Map of Healy A-1 NW

About this map

The Susitna River and its major tributaries, including the East Fork Susitna River and West Fork Susitna River, define this high-altitude landscape in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. This 2016 survey captures a region where hydraulic action has shaped named drainage features such as Valdez Cr and Caribou Cr. The map's terrain labels highlight several prominent landmarks, most notably Gold Hill and the nearby Lucky Gulch, alongside Rusty Hill and Sunny Gulch. These names often point to the historical prospecting and mining activity common in the Healy region. The drainage network is dense, with smaller streams like Timberline Cr, Fourth of July Cr, and Big Rusty Cr carving through the townships. The absence of roads or structures emphasizes the remote nature of this wilderness area, making the precisely mapped watercourses and peaks the primary navigational markers.
