About this map

Chandalar sits at the southwestern edge of this interior Alaskan landscape, serving as a focal point for aviation and settlement near the shores of Chandalar Lake. The area's geography is defined by high-elevation passes and a complex drainage network, most notably the North Fork Chandalar River and its various tributaries. The presence of the Chandalar Lake Airport underscores the importance of bush flying in accessing this part of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, where ground transport is limited by the terrain.

Waterways like Boulder Cr, Tobin Cr, and Baby Creek carve through the high country, with Tobin Pass providing a named navigational point through the ridges. To the east, the McNett Fork further extends the drainage system. This map captures a landscape where human infrastructure is concentrated around the lake and airstrip, while the surrounding territory remains dominated by the natural flow of the river system.
