About this map

The West Fork Little Delta River dominates this interior Alaska landscape, carving through high-elevation terrain as it was recorded by the Geological Survey just after mid-century. This 1952 edition is primarily a study of drainage patterns and vertical relief, featuring several prominent survey control points like VABM 8159 Marianne and VABM 6463 Art.

The presence of named summits such as Red Mountain and a complex network of tributaries, including Dry Creek, Portage Creek, and Buchanan Creek, illustrates the watershed before any modern infrastructure reached this part of the Fourth Judicial Division. These early topographic records provide an exact view of the land as it appeared during the era of aerial photogrammetric expansion in the territory.
