2016 Map of Big Delta A-4 SW

About this map

The Delta River corridor serves as the primary geographic focus of this 2016 survey, where the braided river valley meets the engineered infrastructure of the Alaskan interior. This map documents a critical transportation and energy hub, featuring the intersection of the Richardson Highway and the Alaska Pipeline. These two arteries parallel the river's path, cutting through a landscape of extensive wetlands and varying elevations. Local transit is managed through a network of secondary routes including Larry Spengler Road and Tanana Loop Road, while smaller residential or access roads like Sipes Road and Rebecca Lane indicate pockets of settlement or operations near the highway corridor. The map provides a precise look at the land survey divisions, spanning Townships 9 and 10 South, Ranges 9 and 10 East, illustrating how modern infrastructure is superimposed upon the expansive natural terrain.
