2018 Map of Big Delta B-1 SW

About this map

The Mertie Mountains dominate the interior of this Alaska interior landscape, where high ridgelines overlook a network of alpine drainage systems. The W Fork S Fork Goodpaster River winds through the southern portion of the territory, serving as a primary hydrological feature for this part of the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area. Smaller tributaries like Central Cr and Tibbs Cr carve deep valleys into the terrain, reflecting the geological processes that shaped the Tanana Valley watershed. While the map is devoid of human settlements or road infrastructure, the presence of Antimony Cr hints at the region's mineral history, as antimony is a traditional target for prospecting in the Alaskan wilderness. This survey provides a baseline of the land's physical state in the early 21st century, illustrating the complex relief of the Yukon-Tanana Uplands.
