1949 Map of Healy D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

West Fork Little Delta River and its numerous tributaries dominate this mid-century topographic portrait of the Alaskan interior. The landscape is defined by high-elevation triangulation stations such as VABM 8159 Marianne and Red Mountain, marking a region where human activity is sparse and tied to the land's drainage patterns. Evidence of backcountry habitation and transit is visible through the presence of Cabins along Dry Creek and a Landing Strip situated north of Portage Creek. The eastern edge of the quadrangle shows the boundary of Fort Greely, reflecting the post-war strategic importance of this northern territory. Waterways like O'Brien Creek and the curiously named Whiskey Pup provide the primary geographic framework for a region largely unsurveyed on the ground at the time of the 1949 aerial photography.
