1952 Map of Healy D-2

About this map

The Wood River drainage dominates this interior Alaska landscape, captured during a 1949 aerial survey and published in the early 1950s. The topographic detail highlights a transition from high alpine peaks, such as VABM 5758 Mystic, down to the glacial braids and floodplains of the river valley. A solitary Cabin situated along the central riverbank represents the only human structure noted in this expansive wilderness, suggesting a landscape used primarily for seasonal trapping or early mineral prospecting.
