2017 Map of Chandalar C-3 SE

About this map

Squaw Lake and the smaller Little Squaw Lake occupy the northern reaches of this interior Alaskan landscape, which is defined by a network of drainage basins and high mountain peaks. The terrain transitions from these low-lying water bodies into a series of significant summits, including Little Squaw Peak and the central Crystal Peak. Further south, the topography rises toward McLellan Peak and the adjacent McLellan Pass, creating a natural corridor between the northern valleys and the southern drainages of Big Cr and Pedro Gulch. The complex hydrography, featuring numerous tributaries such as McNett Fork and Sammy Cr, reveals a landscape carved by persistent glacial and fluvial activity. This 2017 survey documents the exact contours of the Brooks Range foothills before further environmental shifts alter these remote high-latitude waterways.
