1958 Map of Big Delta B-2

About this map

The Goodpaster River winds through this interior Alaskan wilderness, serving as the primary drainage for a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high ridges. During the mid-1950s, human activity in this region was sparse, focused primarily on a handful of Cabins and a lone Cabin located near the riverbank. A solitary Tractor Trail provides the only evidence of overland transport, cutting across the center of the map toward Central Creek. The drainage network is complex, with numerous tributaries such as California Creek, Sonora Creek, and Glacier Creek carving through the terrain. The presence of the tractor trail and scattered shelters suggests seasonal use, likely tied to trapping, prospecting, or subsistence hunting in the drainages of the Big Swede Creek and the surrounding highlands.
