1952 Map of Healy D-3

About this map

Totatlanika River and the Wood River dominate this interior landscape, which was documented using aerial photography in the late 1940s. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, many with names suggesting a history of prospecting, such as All Gold Creek, Last Chance Creek, and Gold King Creek. These tributaries flow through high elevations, marked by landmarks like Keevy Peak and the prominent Needle Rock. A few isolated Cabin sites are the only indicators of human habitation in this expanse of the Alaska-Fourth Judicial Division, likely serving as seasonal shelters for those navigating the drainages of Healy Creek or Cody Creek. The map provides a clear look at the drainage patterns before significant modern development altered the wilderness character of the region.
