1952 Map of Big Delta D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The meandering Chena River dominates this interior Alaska landscape, carving a complex path through the terrain just years after the close of World War II. The river's character is defined by sharp bends and the presence of Mullen Slough, while its South Fork branches off into the higher elevations to the southeast. Human presence in this wilderness is marked by sparse but critical infrastructure, including an Airstrip and several isolated Cabin locations that indicate seasonal use or remote outposts. A primitive transportation network is visible in the form of a Sled Road that parallels the river, a vital winter link in an era before modern highway expansion. From the lowlands of the river valley to the high point at Vabm 3610 Last, this map documents the geography of a territory still largely reliant on traditional bush travel and river-based navigation.
