1954 Map of Healy B-6

About this map

Alaska National Park dominates the northern and central portions of this mid-century survey, where the Mt McKinley Range serves as a divide between major glacial and river systems. The map captures the industrial and logistical presence in this wilderness during the 1950s, specifically the Dunkle Mine and its adjacent Landing Strip near Camp Creek. This area illustrates the late-territorial transition into statehood, showing how the National Park Boundary intersected with mining activity and the border of the Third and Fourth Judicial Divisions. The landscape is defined by massive ice features like the Polychrome Glacier and West Fork Glacier, feeding the headwaters of the Chulitna River and Toklat River.
