2024 Map of Big Delta B-3 NW

About this map

The South Fork Salcha River and the headwaters of Shaw Creek define this Interior Alaska landscape, where the meandering drainage patterns reveal a complex hydraulic network. The topographic detail highlights the jurisdictional boundary between the Fairbanks North Star Borough and the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, tracing a line across the high ground between these two major water systems. This 2024 survey documents a wilderness area defined by significant relief, where the absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the role of natural waterways as the primary geographic markers. The map provides a high-resolution look at the intricate contour lines and wetlands that characterize this portion of the Tanana Valley watershed, serving as a critical reference for understanding the physical geography of the region as it exists in the current decade.
