2016 Map of Bettles C-3 NE

About this map

The interior of the Bettles C-3 NE quadrangle is defined by the high-elevation terrain of the central Alaskan wilderness, where the landscape transitions from steep, ridged contours in the north to a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies in the south. This 2016 survey documents the precise Public Land Survey System boundaries, including the intersection of T22n R17w, T22n R16w, T21n R17w, and T21n R16w. The map is characterized by a stark absence of human-named infrastructure, roads, or settlements, presenting instead a pure topographical study of the drainage patterns and glacial landforms typical of this subarctic region. Researchers of the Yukon-Koyukuk area will find a detailed record of the natural hydrography and elevation contours that dictate the movement of water and wildlife across this unsettled territory.
