1992 Map of Big Delta C-6 SW

About this map

The Tanana River and the Little Salcha River define the lower wetlands of this Interior Alaska landscape, where modern energy infrastructure intersects with vast military training grounds. Much of the northern terrain is occupied by the Fort Wainwright Maneuver Area, a sprawling tactical space used by the U.S. Army. Cutting through the center of the sheet is the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, a critical piece of industrial history supported by Pumping Station No. 8 and its prominent stack. The transport network here relies on the Richardson Highway and Johnson Road, while various Winter Trails snake across the muskeg and drainages like French Creek. This 1990s-era documentation reflects the late 20th-century balance between the state's military importance and its role in the global petroleum economy.
