Summary[edit]

Description

(photo by Kira Harris)

(oblique aerial view; looking ~south; looking upstream) (field of view: 5.0 to 5.5 kilometers across the middle of the picture)

The Tanana River in central and eastern Alaska is an almost 600 mile long, northwest-flowing tributary of the Yukon River. The photo depicts a highly braided stream with numerous intertwined channels and mid-river sediment bars. The floodplain on the left has a meandering stream.

The sinuous river extending off-frame to the left, in the approximate middle of the picture & just "above" the road, is the Salcha River, a west-southwest-flowing tributary of the Tanana River.

Locality: Salcha River-Tanana River confluence, near the town of Salcha, ~53 air-kilometers south-southeast of Fairbanks, east-central Alaska, USA (64° 28' 14.15" North latitude, 147° 01’ 01.30" West longitude)
