1950 Map of Healy A-3

About this map

Deadman Mountain rises as a central landmark in this 1950s interior Alaskan landscape, which was mapped via aerial photography just before the territory achieved statehood. The terrain is defined by a dense network of high-altitude waterways, including the winding course of Brushkana Creek in the north and the extensive Deadman Creek system to the south. A solitary label for Gold on a ridge in the southeast corner points to the mineral prospecting that historically drew activity to these remote highlands.
