1953 Map of Healy C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Mt McKinley National Park is defined here by the drainage systems of the Savage River and Sanctuary River, which flow northward from the high peaks of the Alaska Range. This mid-century survey illustrates the early infrastructure of the park, specifically the McKinley Park Road as it winds across Primrose Ridge and past the Savage River Campground. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Mt Wright, Double Mtn, and the distinctive Fang Mtn. To the south, the Refuge Valley provides a break in the high-relief landscape near the headwaters of Calico Creek. This map, based on 1949 and 1953 aerial photography, captures the primitive access routes and established camping sites at the Sanctuary River Campground before modern park expansions altered the character of these remote interior corridors.
