2018 Map of Black River B-4 NE

About this map

The Draanjik River winds extensively across this portion of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, defining a landscape of complex hydrological patterns and low-lying wetlands. Flowing through the eastern and central sections of the quadrangle, the river creates numerous oxbows and secondary channels, most notably in the vicinity of Salmon Slough in the northeast. The topographic data, derived from the U.S. Geological Survey National Elevation Dataset, illustrates the subtle relief of the river basin, where elevation changes are minimal and dictated by the ancient migration of the watercourse. This 2018 survey provides a precise record of the river's path through townships t19n r24e and t18n r24e, serving as a foundational document for understanding the modern geography of this interior Alaskan waterway before future seasonal shifts alter its course.
