2018 Map of Charley River A-3 NW

About this map

Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve encompasses the vast majority of this interior Alaskan landscape, which remains largely undeveloped and defined by its drainage systems. The terrain is anchored in the southeast by the prominence of Strawberry Dome, while a network of waterways including Fisher Cr, Washington Cr, and Nugget Cr carve through the high country. These creeks represent the intricate hydrology of the Yukon River basin, where seasonal flows and drainage patterns dictate movement through the subarctic wilderness. This 2018 survey documents the area as part of a protected federal landscape, emphasizing natural landmarks over human settlement. The presence of Surprise Cr and Eagle Cr further illustrates the complex watershed that characterizes the northeastern reach of the Fairbanks census area, where topography and water are the primary features of record.
