1952 Map of Healy A-4

About this map

Glacial drainages and high-altitude mountain passes define this interior Alaskan landscape as it was documented in the mid-twentieth century. The watershed is divided by the Tsusena River flowing south and the Jack River and Soule Creek flowing north, reflecting the complex hydrology of the Alaska Range. A significant administrative line cuts across the terrain, marking the Fourth Judicial Division Third Judicial Division boundary, which separated legal jurisdictions in the territory before statehood. The topography is anchored by Caribou Pass in the north and the East Fork Chulitna River to the west. This 1952 edition was derived from aerial photography taken in 1949, capturing the wilderness before modern road access or significant development altered the natural course of waterways like Portage Creek.
