About this map

The East Fork Chandalar River winds through this interior Alaskan landscape, defining a network of wetlands and tundra lakes. Near the northeastern corner, the Arctic Village Airport serves as a critical transport hub, connected to the nearby settlement area by local routes including Airport Street, Lee Street, and Mountain Street. The terrain shifts from the low-lying basin of the Chandalar to the significant rise of Marten Stand Mtn in the southeast, providing a clear view of the transition from riparian zones to higher elevations.

Water is a dominant feature throughout this quadrangle, with named bodies like Loon Lake, Mud Lake, Khaali Lake, and Kornui Lake scattered across the northern half of the sheet. Smaller drainage patterns are evident in features such as Ottertail Creek, which feeds into the larger river system. The 2018 survey data reflects a landscape where aviation and water remain the primary avenues of movement in the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
