About this map

The Mertie Mountains dominate the northeastern reaches of this topographic study, where the high-altitude terrain shapes a landscape defined by significant drainage systems. This interior Alaskan environment is characterized by sharp relief and the headwaters of several key waterways, including Mogul Cr and Bryant Cr. The presence of Mt Eldridge in the southern portion of the quadrangle provides a prominent landmark for navigating the high ridges that separate these creek basins.

The map reveals a landscape largely untouched by permanent settlements or roads, focusing instead on the natural survey of the Southeast Fairbanks area. The intricate network of smaller streams like Butte Cr and Meters Cr illustrates the complex hydrological patterns of the region. This 2018 survey offers a detailed view of the terrain's physical characteristics, from the steep slopes of the Mertie Mountains to the lower creek beds, prior to more modern land-use changes.
