The mountains extend about {{convert|95|mi|km}} from east to west, to the south of the Tanana River Valley, west of the Nebesna River and northwest of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and the Copper River, and cover an area of {{convert|6313|mi2|km2}}.{{cite web| url = http://peakbagger.com/range.aspx?rid=1024| title = Delta Range - Peakbagger.com}} The highest point of the range is Mount Kimball,{{gnis|1404703}} at {{convert|10300|ft|m}}.{{cite web |url=http://www.summitpost.org/area/range/170857/alaska-range.html |title=Delta Mountains at SummitPost |accessdate=2009-02-16}}

The Delta River originates on the south side of the range, near Paxson, and flows north through the mountains (between the Delta Mountains and the Hayes Range, to the west) to join the Tanana River. It has been designated a National Wild and Scenic River since 1980.{{cite web | url=https://www.rivers.gov/rivers/delta.php | title=Delta River, Alaska }}
