2024 Map of Mount Hayes C-3 NW

About this map

Saint Anthony Pass and the surrounding peaks dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, where the high-altitude terrain of Granite Mtn provides the headwaters for several prominent drainages. The Gerstle River flows through the southeastern quadrant, while Deltana marks a distinct topographic feature in the northern reaches. This 2024 survey captures a wilderness largely defined by its hydrological network, including the meandering paths of McCumber Creek and Granite Creek. The lack of road infrastructure underscores the area's isolation, with mapping focused on the precise placement of natural landmarks and seasonal watercourses like July Creek and Old Channel Creek. This record is particularly valuable for those studying the drainage patterns and unchanged landforms of the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area.
