2018 Map of Black River C-2 SW

About this map

Salmon Fork Black River meanders across the southern landscape of this 2018 survey, carving a complex series of oxbows and gravel bars through the valley floor. The watercourse serves as the primary geographic focal point in an otherwise remote wilderness characterized by steep, ascending ridges and deep drainages. In the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, Bullhawk Cr flows north to join the main river system, cutting through the elevation contours that define the local topography. This map documents a pristine riverine environment in the Yukon-Koyukuk region, illustrating the natural drainage patterns and landforms as they existed in the early 21st century. The absence of roads or structures emphasizes the isolation of the area, where the river serves as the dominant feature for navigation and habitat.
