About this map

Middle Fork Chulitna River and the East Fork Chulitna River converge in this mid-century survey of the Alaska interior, marking a critical corridor for transportation and water drainage. The The Alaska Railroad follows the path of the Middle Fork, passing through the settlement of Colorado where a small Airstrip and several buildings are noted. This rail line was the primary artery for the region during the early 1950s, navigating the dramatic elevation changes around Broad Pass and the high peaks of the Alaska Range. High-altitude survey markers like VABM Chulitna 6495 and VABM Pass 5603 overlook a landscape of braided riverbeds and drainage systems including Fourth of July Creek and Honolulu Creek. The map also captures the Hardage trail, suggesting the enduring importance of ground routes even as aviation infrastructure began to appear.
