2017 Map of Bettles A-2 NW

About this map

The Bettles A-2 NW quadrangle presents a landscape defined entirely by its natural topography and formal land divisions within the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. This part of the Alaska interior is characterized by significant elevation changes, with contours rising to over 2400 feet, emphasizing the verticality of the terrain. The map is primarily organized around the intersection of the T16n R16w and T16n R15w townships in the north and T15n R16w and T15n R15w in the south. Unlike many lower-latitude surveys, this sheet contains no named settlements, roads, or man-made structures, reflecting the wilderness character of the region during the 2017 survey. It serves as a foundational record of the physical geography and Public Land Survey System boundaries in a remote sector of the state where human development is absent.
