2016 Map of Bettles D-4 NW

About this map

The Alatna Hills dominate the western half of this interior Alaskan landscape, providing a high-relief backdrop to the river systems that define the region's geography. Flowing through the northeast corner, the John River is a central hydrological feature, accompanied by nearby Goose Slough. The terrain transitions from these prominent elevations toward lower-lying wetlands and smaller water bodies like Pitchuk Lake. To the south, Lookout Mtn stands as a distinct landmark above the drainage of Jane Cr. This 2016 survey captures the area's natural state within the Yukon-Koyukuk region, illustrating the complex topographic contours and the isolation of these northern ranges where the watercourses serve as the primary geographical guides.
