The Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area and Nome Census Area divide this interior landscape, marked by a high-elevation divide where drainages flow toward different coastal watersheds. At this scale, the topography reveals a complex network of ridgelines and upland basins, organized by the Public Land Survey System grids of Townships 1 through 3 North and Ranges 3 through 4 West. The terrain lacks established roads or settlements, reflecting the remote character of this subarctic wilderness where survival and navigation depend entirely on the land's natural contours. This survey serves as a vital record of the untouched boundary zones between these two vast administrative regions in the early 21st century.
