1953 Map of Healy C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Mt McKinley National Park encompasses the majority of this interior Alaskan landscape, surveyed in the early 1950s using photogrammetric methods from 1949 and 1953 aerial photography. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations including Fang Mtn and Double Mtn, with drainage systems flowing north through the Savage River and Sanctuary River corridors. A small Cabin and the Savage River Campground mark the limited human footprint along the northern extent of the park boundary, near the high ground of Primrose Ridge. The presence of Refuge Valley in the south-central portion of the map suggests a secluded natural corridor between the mountain peaks. This survey captures the wilderness in its mid-century state, prior to later infrastructure developments, showing the primitive trail and camp locations such as Sanctuary River Campground that served early park visitors.
