2013 Map of Mount Hayes D-5 NW

About this map

Delta Creek winds through the northwestern corner of this interior Alaskan landscape, which is defined by the high-elevation terrain of the Southeast Fairbanks region. The topography rises sharply from the creek bed towards the southern reaches of the quadrangle, where the contour lines indicate significant elevation changes within the survey area. This 2013 data from the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the transition from the lower riparian environment to the more complex ridges and valleys that characterize this portion of the Tanana Valley watershed. The layout of the township and range boundaries, such as those separating Township 10 South and Township 11 South, highlights the systematic public land survey system used to organize this vast wilderness area for resource management and mapping.
