1949 Map of Big Delta B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Tanana River anchors the southern edge of this interior landscape, which captures a critical moment of infrastructure expansion in the Fairbanks North Star Borough. While the primary topography is based on 1949 photogrammetry, the map highlights the significant 1970s arrival of The Trans-Alaska Pipeline, shown as under construction as it cuts across the northern ridges. This modern energy corridor contrasts with the older travel patterns along the Richardson Highway and the Tenderfoot Creek Highway, which follow the river's natural course.
