Delta Junction

The terrain around Delta Junction is a broad river plain at the meeting of the Delta and Tanana rivers, which has shaped both the town’s settlement pattern and its agricultural economy. In Alaska’s Interior, long summer daylight and relatively dry conditions support farms producing barley, hay and other crops, a contrast to the state’s better-known coastal landscapes. Delta Junction marks the official northern end of the Alaska Highway, the wartime route completed in 1942, where it meets the Richardson Highway. Nearby Rika’s Roadhouse, a state historic site on the Delta River, recalls the era of Interior Alaska travel by trail and roadhouse.
