1950 Map of Big Delta A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Delta Junction serves as the focal point of this 1950s landscape, marking the significant junction where the Richardson Highway meets the Alaska Highway. This survey captures the region during a period of transition, noting the original Big Delta as abandoned while documenting the establishment of Fort Greely and the Big Delta Airport to the south. The terrain is defined by the massive braided channels of the Tanana River and Delta River, which converge amidst a complex network of wetlands and sloughs. To the north and east, the map details more remote outposts and natural features, including Jollys Cabins along the Goodpaster River and the expansive Shaw Creek Flats. The presence of several landing strips and a Winter Trail highlights the vital role of specialized transportation in navigating the interior Alaskan wilderness.
