2024 Map of Big Delta A-1 NE

About this map

The Mertie Mountains dominate the southern landscape of this 2024 USGS survey, giving way to a network of high-latitude waterways that define the drainage of the interior. The South Fork Goodpaster River meanders across the northern half of the sheet, carving a path through the subarctic terrain where Divide Creek joins from the north. The absence of road infrastructure or named settlements highlights the topographical focus of this contemporary data, emphasizing the primary natural boundaries of the Volkmar River system. The map serves as a precise record of hydrologic patterns and elevation contours in the Southeast Fairbanks region, capturing the intricate relationship between the mountain slopes and the river valleys that remain central to Alaskana navigation and land management.
