1955 Map of Mount Hayes D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Tanana River and its braided tributaries dominate this mid-century Alaskan landscape, revealing a remote wilderness shaped by water and burgeoning infrastructure. The mid-1950s saw the established presence of the Alaska Highway cutting through the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a vital artery alongside more primitive routes like the Pack Trail. Local industry and habitation are evidenced by a Sawmill and several clusters of Cabins, while the George Lake Lodge indicates the early importance of these interior lakes for recreation or seasonal residence. The terrain is a complex network of wetlands and river systems, including Healy Lake in the north and the confluence of the Gerstle River and Little Gerstle River. An Aboveground Pipeline following the highway corridor reflects the era's focus on resource transport across the Interior.
