2016 Map of Bettles C-3 SE

About this map

Hulgothen Bluffs stands as a prominent topographical landmark in this interior Alaskan wilderness, overlooking the intricate winding of Fish Creek. The landscape is defined by the complex, serpentine oxbows of the creek as it meanders through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. To the northeast, the terrain transitions toward the drainage of Bonanza Creek, showcasing the primitive river systems that have shaped the Yukon-Koyukuk region. This 2016 survey captures a landscape devoid of permanent road infrastructure or settlements, instead documenting the intricate natural drainage patterns and elevation contours of the Brooks Range foothills. The precision of the public land survey system lines, including t21n r17w and t20n r16w, provides a structural grid over an otherwise untamed riverine environment.
