1950 Map of Big Delta B-4

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Shaw Creek Flats dominate the southern portion of this interior Alaskan landscape, where a complex network of wetlands and seasonal drainages characterizes the low-lying terrain. Surveyed in 1950, the map illustrates the transition from the broad, marshy basin of Shaw Creek and its tributaries, such as Cottonwood Creek and Caribou Creek, to the higher elevations of the northern boundary. The topography is defined by significant landmarks like VABM 4084 Mid and VABM 3570 Peak, which overlook the winding course of the Salcha River and its South Fork. The absence of roads or established trails at the time of this mid-century survey underscores the isolated nature of the Fairbanks North Star Borough interior, where movement was primarily dictated by the drainage patterns of waterways like Gilles Creek and Flat Creek.
