1949 Map of Big Delta C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Tanana River and the foundational Richardson Highway anchor the southwest corner of this interior Alaskan landscape, providing the primary corridor for movement through the region. North and east of this transport artery, the land is dominated by a sprawling Military Reservation, defined by complex topography and a network of drainage systems. High points such as Vabm 2566 Seven and Vabm 1831 Canyon overlook a wilderness carved by Moose Creek, Globe Creek, and the Little Salcha River. The map reflects the post-war era of Alaskan development, where military land use and infrastructure projects, evidenced by a Gravel Pit near the highway, began to shape the territory's strategic and economic footprint. The survey's focus on precise elevation and waterway alignment captures the natural state of the Military Reservation Boundary before subsequent decades of northern expansion.
