2016 Map of Bettles B-6 NW

About this map

Koyukuk River and Kanuti River dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, documenting the complex riparian environment near the settlement of Alatna. The hydrography reveals the meandering paths of these major waterways as they carve through the terrain of the Yukon-Koyukuk region. This 2016 data by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise record of the river channels and seasonal wetlands that characterize the drainage patterns of the north. The map effectively captures the relationship between the elevated terrain at Alatna and the expansive river basins, offering a detailed snapshot of the wilderness geography before shifting environmental conditions further alter these shifting banks.
