1951 Map of Healy C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Yanert Glacier and the expansive Nenana Glacier dominate this subarctic landscape, carving deep valleys through the rugged interior. Mapped from 1950s aerial photography with 1970s revisions, the sheet captures a wilderness defined by massive ice fields and high peaks, including Nenana Mountain. The drainage systems here are complex, with the Yanert Fork and the Wood River carrying glacial runoff across a terrain marked by numerous crevasses and alpine streams like Big Grizzly Creek and Edgar Creek. This area sits along the Fairbanks Meridian, representing a region entirely devoid of established roads or trails at the time of the survey. The topography illustrates the powerful erosive force of these glaciers, providing a detailed look at the unpopulated northern reaches of the Alaska Range before modern developments reached deeper into the interior.
