1953 Map of Healy A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Mining operations and the essential steel ribbon of the Alaska Railroad define this remote stretch of the Alaska Range during the mid-century. High-altitude resource extraction is evident at the Golden Zone Mine and Silver King Mine in the northern reaches, supported by infrastructure like the Blind Ditch. The landscape is dominated by the massive Eldridge Glacier and the headwaters of the West Fork Chulitna River, which flows past landmarks like Hurricane Gulch. The northwestern corner preserves a portion of Mt Mc Kinley National Park, illustrating the early boundary of this protected wilderness. This 1953 survey captures a moment when the regional economy relied heavily on the transit corridor following the river forks, connecting isolated mountain peaks like Lookout Mtn to the wider territory.
