1952 Map of Big Delta A-5

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Tanana River and the braided path of Delta Creek dominate this 1952 topographic study of the Alaskan interior south of Fairbanks. The landscape is defined by its vast water networks and the early infrastructure of the Richardson Highway, which cuts across the northeast corner of the sheet near Mile 286. Evidence of human presence is sparse and temporary, limited to a small Cabin and a group of Cabins situated near the headwaters of Clear Creek. This map captures a moment in the mid-twentieth century when the region remained largely undeveloped, centered on the logistical lifeline of the highway and the natural flow of the major river systems. The detailed contouring reveals the subtle transitions between the low-lying river plains and the rising terrain characterized by points like Top and Low.
