1949 Map of Big Delta A-6

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Little Delta River dominates this interior landscape, its braided channels and gravel bars carving a path through the wilderness of Southeast Fairbanks. Based on 1949 photogrammetric data, the map reflects a mid-century era when access to this Alaskan territory relied heavily on seasonal routes. A prominent Winter Trail is visible, tracing a path through the lowlands and swampy terrain to facilitate travel when the ground was frozen. Survey markers such as VABM Delta 1528 and Vabm 3441 denote the high points used by the U.S. Geological Survey to document the elevations of this unsurveyed territory. The land lines shown here represent unmarked locations predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management, emphasizing the vast, unpopulated nature of the region during the post-war period.
