2017 Map of Beaver C-2 SW

About this map

The interior wilderness of Alaska's Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area is defined by subtle drainage patterns and isolated water bodies in this survey of the Beaver C-2 SW region. Sparse hydrologic features such as Adam Lake and Long Lake stand out against a complex system of township and range boundaries, including t21n r2w and t19n r1w, which provide the primary framework for locating oneself in this unpopulated landscape. The terrain is characterized by intricate contour intervals that reveal the gradual elevations of the northern interior before reaching the higher peaks of the Brooks Range to the north. These maps are essential for understanding the late-modern state of the Alaskan bush, where named features are rare and geographic orientation relies heavily on the Public Land Survey System and the few permanent lakes that dot the tundra.
