2018 Map of Black River B-6 NE

About this map

Little Black River meanders across this interior Alaskan landscape, defining a complex wetland ecosystem characterized by intricate oxbows and seasonal drainage patterns. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain dominated by water and saturation, where the river's shifting course has created a network of small ponds and marshes. To the northwest, the Vunle Lakes cluster sits as a prominent feature within the low-lying flats, while Tiechovun Lake occupies the southern portion of the sheet. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the undisturbed character of this subarctic wilderness within the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. The map serves as a vital record for understanding the natural hydrology of the region, documenting the relationship between the primary river channel and the scattered lake systems that support the local ecology.
