2016 Map of Healy D-1 SE

About this map

The Alaska Range defines the steep and high-elevation terrain of this Alaska interior quadrangle, where sharp contour lines trace the drainage basins of the high country. Central to the landscape is the winding course of Buchanan Creek, which flows through the southern half of the map, carving a significant valley across several townships. To the northwest, the headwaters of O'Brien Cr emerge from the high ridges. This is a wilderness environment where the primary markers of human organization are the public land survey system lines, including the corners of t12s r3e and t13s r4e. The map illustrates the hydrological patterns of these high-latitude watersheds before they join larger systems further down the range.
