1951 Map of Healy D-5

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Mt McKinley National Park dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, where the Savage River and Sanctuary River flow north out of high-elevation ridges. The northern half of the survey reveals a frontier infrastructure focused on resource extraction and transit, centered around the settlement of Lignite. Here, the Alaska Railroad follows the winding path of the Nenana River, supported by local industry including a Mine and a Tramway. The map captures the remote character of the interior at mid-century, documented by the presence of a Ranger Cabin along Sunday Creek and a Landing Strip further west. Natural landmarks like Mount Margaret and Primrose Ridge frame the drainage basins of Fish Creek and Panguingue Creek, illustrating the complex network of waterways that defined travel and boundary lines in this part of the Alaska Territory.
