2018 Map of Black River B-2 SE

About this map

Glacial and periglacial landforms dominate this portion of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of high-latitude wetlands and small lakes. Surveyed as part of the Public Land Survey System, the landscape is organized by the boundaries of T18n R28e, T18n R29e, T17n R28e, and T17n R29e. This 2018 edition reveals an environment shaped by water, where numerous unnamed basins and seasonal drainages suggest a complex, low-relief hydrology typical of the Alaskan interior. The lack of named human settlements or infrastructure emphasizes the region's character as an untouched wilderness. For those studying the geomorphology of the Black River region, the map provides a precise record of the elevation contours and lake distribution that characterize this subarctic ecosystem.
