1951 Map of Healy C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Mt Deborah and Hess Mountain dominate the skyline of this high-altitude landscape in the Alaska Range. The 1951 field annotations reveal a massive network of moving ice, including the expansive Gillam Glacier and Yanert Glacier. The topographic survey captures these ice fields before significant late-century recession, detailing specific crevasses and the drainage patterns that feed into the West Fork Glacier and Susitna Glacier. Mapping based on aerial photography from the mid-1950s provides a precise record of these unsurveyed and unmarked lands as they existed in the early post-war era, documenting a wilderness defined by its elevation and glacial flow rather than human settlement or infrastructure.
