2016 Map of Big Delta D-5 SE

About this map

Granite Tors dominates the high-latitude terrain within the Fairbanks North Star Borough, as shown in this 2016 topographic study. This specific corner of the interior landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, where Little Munson Cr and Rock Cr carve through the northern sections while Wheeler Cr flows southward across the central townships. The drainage patterns and the presence of the Tors imply a landscape of resistant rock formations and significant elevation changes, characteristic of the uplands northeast of the Tanana River valley. Boundary markers for several townships, including t1n r8e and t1s r8e, help orient researchers within this largely uninhabited wilderness, while Beaver Cr skirts the southern edge of the survey area, marking the low-lying extent of the local watershed.
