1959 Map of Big Delta A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Fort Greeley anchors the southern portion of this mid-century survey, situated at the strategic confluence where the Delta River meets the mighty Tanana River. This region represents a vital transportation corridor in Alaska’s interior, marked by the intersection of the Richardson Highway and the Alaska Highway. The map captures a period of transition, noting the location of Big Delta (Aband) alongside active service points like Buffalo Center and Bert & Marys Roadhouse. To the north, the landscape opens into the expansive Shaw Creek Flats and the Goodpaster Flats, characterized by numerous water bodies such as Quartz Lake and Clearwater Lake. Scattered landmarks like Jollys Cabins and several unnamed cabins along the Goodpaster River and Winter Trail suggest the area's ongoing importance for both military operations and localized interior travel.
