2017 Map of Candle A-6 NW

About this map

Koyuk River meanders across this northern landscape on the Seward Peninsula, exhibiting the complex hydrological patterns typical of the region. The map documents a wilderness terrain defined by its watercourses, where the main river is joined by several smaller tributaries including Copper Cr and June Cr. In the southern portion of the sheet, the drainage network continues with Salmon Cr and its feeder, Flat Cr. This 2017 survey provides an exacting record of the shifting channels and numerous oxbow lakes formed by the river's path through the low-lying interior. There are no marked settlements or industrial developments within these boundaries, leaving a pure topographical study of the natural Alaskan environment as it existed in the early 21st century.
