2018 Map of Black River C-3 SW

About this map

The Salmon Fork Black River meanders across the southern reaches of this interior Alaska wilderness, defining the low-lying drainage patterns of the region. This 2018 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by complex topographic relief and isolated water bodies, most notably the uniquely named Cow and Calf Moose Lake in the northern portion of the quadrangle. The map detail highlights the intricate network of townships and ranges, including t21n r25e and t20n r25e, which organize this vast territory within the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. Without established roads or settlements, the terrain character is dictated entirely by the natural flow of the river system and the elevation changes of the surrounding uplands, providing a precise record of the hydrological and geological state of the Salmon Fork basin.
