2016 Map of Bettles B-3 SW

About this map

The Alaskan wilderness within the Yukon-Koyukuk region is defined by its topographic complexity in this 2016 survey. This specific quadrangle reflects the transition across the public land survey system lines of T18n R18w, T18n R17w, T17n R18w, and T17n R17w. The terrain is characterized by significant elevation changes, with numerous peaks and ridge lines rising above the surrounding lowlands. The drainage patterns and small wetlands visible in the lower-lying corners indicate the natural water movement through this remote landscape, which remained largely unsettled at the time of this mapping. The lack of man-made structures or established roads highlights the pristine nature of the interior during the early 21st century.
