1952 Map of Healy B-2

About this map

Nenana Glacier feeds a complex network of glacial meltwater and mountain streams in this mid-century topographic study. The landscape is dominated by the broad drainage basin of Monahan Flat, where the upper reaches of the Nenana River and the Susitna River system converge near the jurisdictional boundary of the Third and Fourth Judicial Divisions. The topographical detail reveals the braided nature of the glacial outlets, particularly evident where the West Fork Glacier contributes its volume to the valley floor. High-altitude survey markers like VABM 5756 Fork provide reference points for the steep elevation changes surrounding the central flats. This mapping reflects the era's focus on defining hydrographic patterns and transit corridors in the interior, documented just as aerial multiplex methods were refining our understanding of the subarctic terrain.
