1950 Map of Big Delta D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Chena River and its massive South Fork Chena River dominate this interior Alaskan landscape during the mid-twentieth century. This remote territory, documented just as modern infrastructure began to push inland, shows a transitional stage of development with segments of Road marked as Under Construction alongside established routes like the Winter Trail. The presence of several isolated cabins and a primitive Airstrip near Flat Creek suggests a reliance on bush aviation and seasonal travel. Notable geological and hydrothermal features include the Hot Springs near Hodgins Slough and a recorded Pingo to the southeast, highlighting the unique periglacial landforms of the region. Drainage patterns are intricately detailed through numerous tributaries such as Caribou Creek, Anaconda Creek, and Hunts Creek.
