1962 Map of Healy A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Butte Lake sits at the center of an intricate network of alpine waters and glacial drainages in this mid-century survey of the Matanuska-Susitna region. The landscape is defined by the heavy path of the Susitna River and its numerous tributaries, including Gold Creek, Canyon Creek, and Wickersham Creek. The mapping reveals a remote wilderness punctuated by geodetic control points like Vabm Nadiwen and Vabm Win, which served as the literal anchors for the photogrammetric surveys of the 1940s and 1950s. A solitary Gaging Sta near the river bank indicates the importance of water flow monitoring in this unpopulated reach. The presence of the Fairbanks Meridian line running through the eastern portion underscores the massive scale of the land grid system being imposed on this unsurveyed territory.
