1950 Map of Healy B-3

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Denali Highway cuts through a remote interior Alaskan landscape in this mid-century survey, providing one of the few terrestrial transit points through the region. The Nenana River dominates the central valley, joined by tributaries such as Wells Creek and Seattle Creek as it winds through the transition from high peaks like Pyramid Pk to the broad expanse of Monahan Flat. The presence of the Landing Strip and Brushkana Campground reflects the era's emerging infrastructure for backcountry access and recreation during the 1950s. Near the southern boundary of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, the map details a drainage network including the East Fork Jack River and Brushkana Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Alaska Range foothills before major modern development altered these remote corridors.
