2016 Map of Big Delta B-5 SW

About this map

The Tanana River dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, its braided channels and wetlands forming a complex drainage system across the borough line. To the north, the terrain rises into the highlands of Harding- Birch Lakes, where a network of tributary streams including Shamrock Cr, Democrat Cr, and Junction Cr carve through the interior. This 2016 survey illustrates the intersection of natural waterways and modern infrastructure, with the Richardson Highway serving as the primary corridor cutting across the center of the sheet. The map also records the jurisdictional boundary between the Fairbanks North Star Borough Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, tracing how these administrative lines follow the contours of the Banner Cr watershed and the broad river valley below.
