USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The confluence of the Tanana River and the Salcha River dominates this interior landscape, illustrating a period of military and civilian development along the Richardson Highway. The southern portion of the map centers on the strategic hub of Delta Junction and the historic settlement at Big Delta, where river navigation meets the overland route. Nearby, the expansive Fort Greely Military Reservation signifies the Cold War-era expansion of the United States military presence in the Alaska interior.
