2014 Map of Candle A-4 NW

About this map

The E Fork Koyuk River meanders through this undeveloped landscape in the Seward Peninsula interior, tracing a course that defines the drainage patterns between significant topographic rises. This 2014 survey documents the wilderness character of the region within the Public Land Survey System grids of t35s r11w, t35s r10w, t4s r11w, and t4s r10w. The absence of roads or permanent structures underscores the isolation of this terrain, where the river serves as the primary geographical marker for navigating the vast valleys and surrounding slopes. It provides a baseline for understanding the hydrologic state of the watershed before contemporary shifts in the Arctic environment, capturing the untouched state of the Koyuk headwaters.
