How to Use This Healy Lake, Alaska Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Healy Lake, Alaska. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Alaska or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Healy Lake.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Healy Lake, Alaska
Healy Lake is a locality in Southeast Fairbanks, Alaska, United States. It is a small community with a population of 24. The population density is 0.1 people per km². Healy Lake is located at 64.0097°N, 144.6816°W. It observes the Alaska Time (America/Anchorage) timezone. ZIP code: 99706.Healy Lake occupies a quiet expanse of interior wilderness where the subarctic light stretches thin and pale across the horizon. It lies 101.5 miles east-southeast of Badger, AK (from Badger, AK: bearing 122°T), and is situated 85.7 miles east-southeast of Eielson AFB. Dense spruce forests define the perimeter of the landscape, their dark needles absorbing the stillness that settles over the earth during the long winter months. The ground here is a resilient tapestry of moss and lichen, giving way to the glassy, reflective surface of Healy Lake itself, which mirrors the shifting moods of a sky that seems to possess an immense, unyielding scale. Even on the clearest days, the distant Alaska Range remains a jagged, ethereal silhouette against the pale blue, serving as a silent sentinel for this vast and lonely stretch of northern territory.
Human presence at Healy Lake exists in a delicate dialogue with the land, rooted in a history of indigenous stewardship that predates modern settlement. The nearby Tanana Valley State Forest provides a sprawling backdrop for those who navigate the rhythms of the bush, where the local economy is defined by the seasonal cycles of trapping, gathering, and the occasional passage of a bush plane overhead. To the north, the Healy River moves with a slow, deliberate gravity, carving its path through the silt and stone to sustain the surrounding woodland. Life here moves with a singular, measured intensity, favoring the endurance of those who recognize that the silence of the forest is not an absence, but a profound and absolute presence.

About This Healy Lake Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Healy Lake, Alaska. Coordinates: 64.009705, -144.681574. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Healy Lake includes the ZIP code (99706), telephone area code (907), county seat of Southeast Fairbanks, and school district assignment (Alaska Gateway School District).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
