1951 Map of Healy D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The northern boundary of Mt McKinley National Park defines the southern half of this landscape, where the rugged topography of the Alaska Range meets the industrial corridors of the interior. The settlement of Lignite serves as a focal point along the Alaska Railroad, situated near the confluence of several glacial streams and the Nenana River. This region illustrates the intersection of conservation and resource extraction during the mid-20th century, notably marked by the Diamond Coal Mine near Otto Lake. To the west, the wilderness character prevails with the Teklanika River and Savage River cutting through high ridges. Interior landmarks like the Ranger Cabin on Sunday Creek and various landing strips and tramways highlight the specialized transport required to navigate this terrain before modern road development reached deep into the territory.
