2017 Map of Bettles C-2 NW

About this map

Bonanza Creek snakes across the southern reaches of this interior Alaskan landscape, defining the primary drainage for the surrounding terrain. Situated within the Yukon-Koyukuk region, the area is characterized by significant topographic relief in the northern sections, which gradually descends into a more marshy, wetland-dominated lowland toward the south. The absence of roads or established settlements on this 2017 survey reflects the remote, undeveloped nature of the Public Land Survey System divisions between t22n r16w and t21n r15w. For researchers, the map provides a precise record of the natural hydrology and contouring of this subarctic wilderness prior to any modern infrastructure development.
