1952 Map of Healy A-2

About this map

The Susitna River carves a dominant path through this portion of the Talkeetna Mountains, marking a vital hydrological corridor for the region during the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by its significant relief, notably at high-elevation survey markers like VABM 6187 Watana and VABM 5187 Native. These triangulation points, alongside VABM 5602 Way, reveal the intensive surveying effort required to map this interior wilderness shortly after the war. A solitary Sled Road in the northern reach provides a rare indication of human transit through the brush and hills, likely used for winter logistics between drainages.
