2016 Map of Mount Hayes D-3 SE

About this map

The settlement of Deltana sits in the northwest corner of this Interior Alaska landscape, where the Alaska Highway cuts a distinct path across the northern terrain. This transportation corridor provides a stark linear contrast to the complex glacial and alluvial systems that dominate the area. To the southeast, the braided channels of the Gerstle River sweep through the valley, fed by several smaller drainages including Dougherty Cr, Hajdukovich Cr, and Sawmill Cr. The map illustrates a transitional geography where the relatively level ground near the highway gives way to the rising elevations and drainage networks of the Alaska Range foothills, with Tower Road providing one of the few improved access points into the back country.
