1953 Map of Healy C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Mt Wright and Primrose Ridge dominate the northern skyline of this landscape, marking the rugged gateway into the protected lands of Denali National Park and Preserve. The topography reveals a dramatic glacial and riverine system, where the Sanctuary River and Savage River flow northward out of the high peaks of the Denali Wilderness. In the mid-20th century, human activity in this interior corridor was concentrated along the Park Road, which provides access to the Sanctuary River Campground and the Savage River Campground. A lone Cabin near the wilderness boundary and the descriptive Refuge Valley suggest a remote environment defined by its natural barriers and early park infrastructure. Notable summits like Double Mtn and Fang Mtn stand as prominent landmarks for those navigating the creek systems of Jenny Creek, Hines Creek, and Riley Creek in the southeastern corner.
