1958 Map of Big Delta B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Goodpaster River basin in interior Alaska is the primary focus of this late-1950s survey, revealing a landscape defined by its remote mining and prospecting infrastructure. Along the winding Tibbs Creek, a solitary Airstrip and scattered cabins indicate the localized activity of the era, while further south, the presence of a Mine and Mill near Johnson Creek suggests established mineral extraction within the drainage. The terrain is marked by high elevations including Black Mountain and Summit, which divide the numerous glacial and snow-fed tributaries such as Eisenmenger Fork, Antimony Creek, and Serpentine Creek. This map documents a period before modern development, where access to these interior Alaskan valleys relied heavily on bush aviation and small-scale camps, capturing the functional geography of the region as it was field-annotated in 1958.
