2017 Map of Chandalar A-1 SE

About this map

The Teedriinjik River flows across this subarctic landscape, carving a wide alluvial path through the northern Yukon-Koyukuk region. In the northwestern corner of this quadrangle, the East Fork Chandalar River joins the drainage system near the prominent rise of the Chuttoh Bluffs. These bluffs represent a significant topographic landmark in an otherwise complex network of braided river channels and shifting sandbars. The map detail reflects the untamed character of the Alaskan interior in the early 21st century, where the absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes a landscape defined entirely by its hydrography and elevation. Researchers of northern geography can trace the intricate meanders and seasonal drainage patterns that define this remote reach of the Chandalar River system.
