1958 Map of Big Delta D-2

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Military Reservation dominates the central and southern portions of this Alaskan interior landscape, illustrating the strategic importance of the territory during the mid-20th century. High elevations are punctuated by West Point, while the hydrological network is defined by the Salcha River and its major tributary, the North Fork Salcha River. The map captures a moment when human presence was extremely sparse, marked only by isolated structures such as Cabin (Ruins) and a single Cabin along the watercourses. A complex drainage system including Boulder Creek, Dan Creek, and Ricks Creek carves through the terrain, providing a look at the unsurveyed and unmarked land lines predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management before extensive ground checking was completed.
