About this map

The Yukon River defines the southern boundary of this portion of the Yukon Flats, a region characterized by a complex network of wetlands and namesake water bodies. This 2017 survey details a landscape where water and land are in constant flux, featuring prominent basins such as Cook Lake, Roaring Bear Lake, and the expansive White Fox Lake. The naming conventions found on the map, including Hermit Gulch and Marten Island, reflect the area's deep history of trapping and subsistence living. Higher ground is found at the Sand Hills, providing contrast to the low-lying marshlands and smaller ponds like Ned Pond and Shack Lake. This map serves as a vital document of the intricate hydrography of the northern interior, tracing the relationships between major flows like the Yukon River and its backwater lakes like Lower Horseshoe Lake.
