About this map

Kanuti Kilolitna River winding through the northeast corner of this Interior Alaska landscape provides the primary drainage for a region defined by dramatic elevation shifts. The terrain is marked by the winding course of Holonada Cr, which traverses the central and southern reaches of the quadrangle. This 2016 survey highlights the complex topography of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, where steep ridgelines descend into expansive wetlands and valley floors. The land is legally organized into townships such as t15n r22w and t14n r21w, reflecting the systematic surveying of the Alaskan wilderness. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the character of this territory as a remote drainage basin for the larger Koyukuk River system.
