2018 Map of Charley River A-3 SE

About this map

The Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve covers the vast majority of this interior Alaskan landscape, documenting a region defined by its complex drainage systems and isolation. Multiple significant waterways, including Washington Cr and Eagle Cr, carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural water-driven erosion patterns of the Yukon River basin. The nomenclature of features like Placer Cr, Seventeen Gulch, and Fourth of July Cr suggests a history of prospectors and mineral exploration that likely drew individuals to these remote drainages during earlier gold rush eras. This 2018 survey provides a clear view of the wilderness character of the Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, where traditional naming conventions like Owl Gulch and Ruby Cr remain the primary indicators of human interaction with the land.
