1954 Map of Healy D-6

About this map

Sushana River and the Teklanika River carve through this interior Alaskan wilderness, as documented during a 1954 field annotation. This survey depicts the northern edge of the Mt McKinley National Park Boundary, where several Ranger Patrol Cabins are located along the park's perimeter. The landscape is defined by its drainages and high points, including survey markers like Vabm 3428 Ridge and Vabm 1906 Lake. The Stampede Trail provides one of the few named terrestrial routes through the area, crossing the drainage of the East Fork Toklat River. Topographic detail here reflects a pre-modern era of land management, based on 1951 aerial photography and earlier surveying techniques prior to widespread development in the region.
