1954 Map of Mount Hayes B-4

About this map

The Delta River valley carves through some of the most dynamic glacial terrain in the Alaska Range, as captured in this mid-century survey. The vital Richardson Highway corridor serves as the primary artery through the pass, connecting remote outposts and infrastructure. Evidence of early motorized travel and freighting remains at Trims Camp and the site of Millers Roadhouse (Abandoned), while the Black Rapids Training Site indicates the strategic importance of this high-latitude environment. The landscape is dominated by massive ice features including the Black Rapids Glacier, Castner Glacier, and Canwell Glacier. Mineral interest is noted at the Miller Mine and a local Gravel Pit. The sheer scale of the drainage network is evident in the numerous tributaries like Phelan Creek and Rainy Creek which feed the silty glacial waters of the Delta.
