2018 Map of Big Delta D-2 SE

About this map

The Salcha River system dominates this interior Alaskan landscape, winding through a network of steep drainages and mountain ridges. The terrain is defined by the Mertie Mountains to the southeast, where the elevation rises significantly from the river valley. Several notable tributaries feed into the main waterway, including Dan Cr in the north and both Paldo Cr and Stone Boy Cr to the south. This 2018 survey illustrates the complex topography of the Fairbanks North Star Borough, showing a land characterized by narrow creek valleys and prominent peaks without the presence of developed roads or settlements. The drainage patterns of these creeks relative to the mountains provide a clear look at the geological structure of this remote region.
