About this map

The Tanana River dominates this interior landscape, carving a wide path where braided channels meet the wetlands south of Healy Lake. The settlement of Deltana serves as the primary human landmark in this region, situated west of the river's main course. The topography is defined by the sharp contrast between the low-lying river plains and the rising elevations surrounding Moose Lake to the east. Transportation in this rural Alaskan corridor is anchored by Cummings Street, which traces the western side of the river valley, while Mill Road provides access to the northern marshlands. The intersection of the Gerstle River with the Tanana River system highlights the complex hydrology of the Southeast Fairbanks area, where seasonal water flow and glacial silt have historically shaped the accessibility of the backcountry for local residents and land users.
