Delta Junction is located at the convergence of the Richardson and Alaska Highways, approximately 95 miles southeast of Fairbanks. The City developed along the east bank of the Delta River, south of its junction with the Tanana River. It offers spectacular views of the Alaska Range.

In 2004, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed construction of the Missile Defense Testbed at Fort Greely.  Delta Junction has received almost $20 million in federal funds related to the missile defense project, including money to build a new school now located at Greely. It is anticipated that new jobs will be created with the development of the Pogo mine.
