USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Tanana River corridor serves as the primary artery of development on this mid-century reconnaissance sheet, where the Richardson Highway connects a series of remote outposts and lodges. The strategic importance of the region is anchored by Fort Greely and the extensive Ladd Air Force Base Bombing and Gunnery Range, reflecting the era's military focus in Alaska. Near the confluence of the Delta River and the Tanana, the settlement of Big Delta and the nearby Buffalo Center stand as vital hubs for travelers and residents alike.
