2016 Map of Big Delta D-5 NE
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
The Chena River and its upper tributaries define this interior Alaskan wilderness, showcasing the seasonal transit routes necessary for traversing the Fairbanks North Star Borough. Modern access is represented by Chena Hot Springs Road, which cuts through the northwestern corner, while historical or seasonal mobility is indicated by the Chena Hot Springs Winter and E Fork Winter trails. These winter routes were critical for travel when the ground was frozen and the Middle Fork Chena River was locked in ice. The landscape is deeply carved by drainage systems like Munson Cr and Little Munson Cr, which flow through the high-elevation terrain. This survey provides a precise look at the geography before further development, tracing the intersection of waterway-dependent transit and early road infrastructure in the subarctic.
