1949 Map of Big Delta C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Tanana River cuts through the southwestern corner of this interior Alaska territory, where the early infrastructure of the U S Military Reservation at Eielson Air Force Base began to take shape. This 1949 survey illustrates the intersection of military expansion and the existing transportation corridor along the Richardson Highway. The landscape is dominated by high ridges and drainage networks, with Moose Creek and French Creek carving through the northern and central terrain while the Little Salcha River flows across the southern reaches. Survey markers like VABM Seven 2566 and VABM Canyon 1831 provide specific elevation points within the complex topography of the Alaska-Fourth Judicial Division, offering a detailed look at the region before modern development altered these remote drainages.
