2016 Map of Bettles B-4 SE

About this map

Taclodalten Lake sits at the center of this remote Alaskan wilderness, surrounded by the high-elevation contours of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and lack of human infrastructure, where the hydrology of Kadakina Cr carves through the southern terrain. This 2016 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Alaska Department of Transportation, highlights the complex wetlands and drainage patterns typical of the subarctic interior. The map focuses on the Public Land Survey System grids, specifically the intersections of t18n r19w and t17n r20w, providing a precise look at the natural topography before any modern development or road networks reached these coordinates.
