1958 Map of Big Delta C-2

About this map

The Salcha River snakes through the northern drainage of this interior Alaska landscape, while the Goodpaster River marks the southern extent of the surveyed area. Mapping conducted in the mid-1950s highlights a wilderness largely devoid of permanent development, save for a solitary Cabin located along Maiden Creek. The topography is dominated by the complex watershed systems of Porcupine Creek and the bifurcated Upper Boulder and Lower Boulder creeks. The transition of administrative lines is visible through the North Star Borough Boundary, which bisects the southern half of the quadrangle. This survey captures a moment of topographical record before significant modern change, focusing on the intricate drainages of Glacier Creek and Indian Creek that define the high-relief terrain.
