2017 Map of Bettles A-1 SW

About this map

Ray River winds through this expanse of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape marked by complex wetland systems and rising elevations. The terrain is characterized by the transition between low-lying riparian zones and the surrounding uplands, with the river acting as the primary geographical focal point for the region. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey, the map provides a look at the township and range divisions of t15n r14w, t15n r13w, t14n r14w, and t14n r13w. This 2017 edition reflects a modern era of mapping that utilizes satellite imagery and high-resolution elevation data to document the remote interior of Alaska. The lack of built infrastructure or named settlements emphasizes the wild character of the territory, where the watercourse of the river remains the most significant landmark for navigation and environmental study.
