About this map

The Delta River and Richardson Highway corridor define this interior Alaskan landscape, serving as the primary transit artery between the coast and the northern interior. This mid-century survey documents a critical junction of infrastructure and wilderness, featuring the Trans-Alaska Pipeline (Underground) following the highway route. Large swaths of land are dedicated to the Fort Greeley Military Reservation and Black Rapids Military Reservation, highlighting the region's strategic importance during the Cold War. Smaller outposts like Donnelly, the Rapids Club, and a Diner provide isolated points of settlement along the road. To the south and east, the terrain rises into the peaks of the Alaska Range, where the Riley Creek Glacier feeds into Riley Creek. This map is a record of a high-latitude frontier transitioning into a corridor of national energy and defense infrastructure.
