1952 Map of Healy D-2

About this map

Wood River dominates this interior Alaska landscape, its braided channels and vast gravel bars carving a path through the high country of the Fourth Judicial Division. Surveyed from aerial photographs taken in 1949, the map reveals a wilderness shaped by drainage networks where Coal Creek and Mystic Creek feed the main valley from the north. The presence of a solitary .cabin along the riverbank suggests the sparse human footprint typical of this era, likely used by trappers or early prospectors navigating the territory before modern infrastructure. Higher elevations are marked by survey points like VABM 5758 Mystic and VABM 7437 Al, while the southeastern corner introduces the headwaters of the West Fork Little Delta River. The map provides a detailed view of the intricate drainage patterns of Kansas Creek and Virginia Creek, illustrating the complex glacial and alluvial geomorphology of the region.
