2016 Map of Big Delta A-5 NE

About this map

The Tanana River anchors the northern reaches of this Alaskan interior landscape, a region defined by its critical infrastructure and braided watercourses. In this 2016 survey, the modern industrial footprint is visible through the prominent path of the Alaska Pipeline, which traverses the terrain alongside the historic Richardson Highway. This alignment of the state's most vital transport and energy corridors illustrates the strategic importance of the corridor south of Big Delta. Beyond these man-made features, the map detail focuses on the wetlands and intricate drainage patterns of Clear Cr, showing the interaction between the heavy infrastructure of the north and the relatively undisturbed marshes and hills of the interior. The document serves as a high-resolution record of the mid-2010s landscape before any subsequent environmental or infrastructural shifts.
