2024 Map of Big Delta C-5 SE

About this map

The Salcha River meanders across the northern portion of this Fairbanks North Star quadrangle, cutting through a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and intricate water systems. This interior Alaskan terrain is drained by several named tributaries, including Flat Creek which flows into the main river from the south. The southern half of the map is dominated by higher ridges where the headwaters of Twentyfive-Mile Creek, Lenant Creek, and Uncle Sam Creek originate. The topography reflects the remote character of the Tanana Valley watershed, showing a complex network of drainages without the presence of established roads or permanent settlements. The map provides a detailed view of the natural watercourses as they existed in the early 21st century, serving as a primary record of this undeveloped wilderness area.
