1949 Map of Big Delta B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Richardson and the surrounding Tanana Valley are captured here during a period of transition in the mid-twentieth century. The landscape is defined by the Tanana River and the critical transportation corridor of the Richardson Highway, which connects small outposts like Shaw Creek Lodge and Canyon Creek Camp. These small settlements and isolated dwellings, such as Campbell Cabin and the J Fowler Cabin, suggest a rugged, resource-driven economy where early road infrastructure began to open the interior.
