About this map

The Yukon River dominates this landscape within the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, where its massive channels create a complex network of island landforms and shifting waterways. The confluence with the Hodzana River and the nearby Hodzana Slough illustrates the dynamic nature of this interior Alaskan river system. Significant secondary water features like Whirlpool Slough and Joe Guay Slough define the intricate riparian environment, showing how the river bypasses older bends. Evidence of constant hydrological change is visible at the New Cutoff and along the winding path of Beaver Slough in the southeastern quadrant. This area, largely defined by the Public Land Survey System township boundaries of T17N and T18N, remains an unsettled expanse of wetlands and sandbars typical of the Yukon Flats region.
