1952 Map of Healy C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Mt Mckinley National Park dominates this mid-century topographic study, capturing the interior wilderness as it was mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey using aerial photography from 1949. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Alaska Range, where prominent landmarks like Fang Mtn and Double Mtn rise above deep glacial drainages. Major waterways including the Savage River, Sanctuary River, and Riley Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic network that dictates travel through this subarctic environment. The presence of Refuge Valley and Hines Creek further details the local geography before major modern development. Notably, portions of the western boundary are marked as missing compilation data due to cloud cover during the original 1949 flight, a testament to the practical challenges of mapping the Alaskan interior during this era.
