About this map

Yukon Flats forms the backdrop for this drainage basin within the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, where a complex network of waterways defines the landscape. The geography is centered on a series of distinctive water bodies, including Geese Lake, Horse Lake, and the expansive Gushdoiman Lake. The hydrography is notably intricate, featuring the confluence known as The Forks, where the West Fork of the Forks and East Fork of the Forks meet. In the southern portion of the map, the meandering path of Pat Cr and the Dall River illustrate the slow-moving, braided nature of this subarctic wetland system. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise record of these shifting shorelines and the remote Minkoshchaliton Lake, capturing a region where the environment is dictated entirely by its water patterns and seasonal flow.
