2018 Map of Big Delta D-2 NE

About this map

West Point dominates the central high ground of this interior Alaska landscape, serving as a primary landmark in a region defined by its complex drainage patterns. The Salcha River winds through the eastern portion of the territory, carving a distinct valley that contrasts with the surrounding uplands. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain largely shaped by natural watercourses like Boulder Cr, which cuts across the southern sections of the quadrangle. The lack of established roads or settlements suggests a wilderness area primarily utilized for seasonal subsistence or remote exploration. The map provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries, including t2n r15e and t1n r16e, which organize this portion of the Fairbanks North Star Borough. For those studying the hydrology of the Tanana Valley watershed, the intricate contour work illustrates the relationship between the elevated peaks and the river systems that drain them.
