About this map

The Yukon River dominates this interior Alaska landscape, carving a complex network of braided channels and side-waters through the Yukon-Koyukuk region. In this 2017 study, the river’s dynamic nature is evident in the formation of Joe Devlin Island and the meandering paths of Tony Slough and Jack Uheen Slough. These seasonal waterways define the transport and subsistence patterns of the area, connecting the main river channel to more remote interior basins.

Away from the primary river course, the terrain is dotted with numerous bodies of water, including the large Twelvemile Lake and smaller features like Ninemile Lake, Riley Lake, and Tony Lake. The density of these lakes and sloughs illustrates a landscape defined by low-lying wetlands and fluvial processes, where seasonal water levels dictate access and land use. This survey provides a precise record of the hydrological state of these named features before further environmental shifts alter the northern interior.
