1950 Map of Healy B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Mount McKinley National Park and the high mountain passes of the Alaska Range dominate this mid-century survey, which focuses on the critical transportation corridor through the interior. The Alaska Railroad snakes through the center of the sheet, reaching a high point at the settlement of Summit, where infrastructure including a CAA Station, Water Tank, and a Landing Strip supported transit through this difficult terrain. The landscape is defined by massive glacial features, notably the Cantwell Glacier and the headwaters of the Bull River. South of Foggy Pass, numerous small alpine bodies of water such as Summit Lake, Mirror Lake, and Edes Lake sit near the boundary of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The map also details the drainage of the Middle Fork Chulitna River, illustrating the complex network of creeks like Windy Creek and Squaw Creek that feed the region's major river systems.
