2016 Map of Big Delta C-6 NE

About this map

Globe Creek and its tributaries define this interior Alaskan landscape within the Fairbanks North Star Borough, where the terrain is marked by steep elevation changes and dense drainage patterns. The hydrology of the region is centered on several major watercourses, including the westward flow of Hunts Creek in the north and Moose Creek to the south. This 2016 survey illustrates the undeveloped character of the Alaskan wilderness north of Big Delta, where the land is partitioned by the Public Land Survey System into sections within t2s r5e, t2s r6e, t3s r5e, and t3s r6e. The lack of road infrastructure or named settlements emphasizes the isolation of these headwaters, which feed eventually into the larger Tanana River system. Researchers will find a precise record of the natural topography, from the high ridgelines to the marshy lowlands surrounding French Creek.
