1954 Map of Big Delta A-2

About this map

Indian Village sits near the northern shore of Healy Lake, serving as a focal point for settlement in this interior Alaskan landscape. The terrain is defined by the braided path of the Tanana River in the south and the winding courses of the Volkmar River and South Fork Goodpaster River as they cut through the upland drainage. This mid-century survey documents the region's transport network before extensive modern development, highlighting a primary Tractor Trail that traverses the northern ridges between Big Swede Creek and White Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the complex lake systems, including the isolated Volkmar Lake, surrounded by dense contour intervals that reveal the elevation changes characteristic of the Big Delta region.
