2017 Map of Beaver B-5 SE

About this map

Yukon Flats dominates this interior Alaskan landscape, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and shallow water bodies within the t17n r8w and t18n r7w townships. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a remote portion of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area where the W Fork of the Forks meanders through a saturated terrain. Notable features include Savayeit Lake, a distinct body of water amidst the countless unnamed ponds and marshes that define this part of the subarctic basin. The map illustrates the characteristic drainage patterns of the Alaskan interior, showing how subtle elevation changes dictate the flow of water across this vast alluvial plain. There are no marked roads or permanent settlements within these boundaries, reflecting the area's continued use for traditional subsistence and its role as a significant migratory bird habitat.
