About this map

The Big Delta Arctic Training Center dominates the northern landscape of this interior Alaska survey, established as a cold-weather military installation near the confluence of major transportation corridors. The regional infrastructure is defined by the intersection of the Alaska Highway and the Richardson Highway, with the Old Richardson Highway and Meadows Road providing additional access through the braided channels of the Delta River and Jarvis Creek.

Strategic landmarks such as the CAA Station, the Big Delta Airport, and a Rifle Range highlight the area's mid-century military and aviation importance. To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward Donnelly Dome and Granite Mtn, while survey points like Beales Cache and Beales North Base provide a glimpse into the logistical footprint required for mapping and maintaining this subarctic territory.
