1952 Map of Mt. Hayes D-6

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Little Delta River and the braided channels of Delta Creek dominate this 1952 topographic study of the Alaska interior. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, where the West Fork and East Fork converge among a network of smaller tributaries like Iowa Creek and Buchanan Creek. Mapping this territory required precise geodetic control, evidenced by survey benchmarks such as VABM 5932 Dyer and VABM 5322 Aux that mark high-elevation points above the river valleys. This document captures the terrain as it was recorded from 1949 aerial photography, providing a detailed record of the shifting riverbeds and the drainage patterns of Ptarmigan Creek before later environmental changes. The lack of roads or permanent settlements highlights the wilderness character of the Fourth Judicial Division during the mid-century era.
