1990 Map of Christian A-5

About this map

Venetie sits along the north bank of the Chandalar River, serving as a vital hub in this remote Interior Alaska landscape. This 1990 provisional survey documents the area's essential infrastructure, including a Landing Strip and a Cem located just south of the settlement. The surrounding terrain is a complex network of wetlands and thermokarst features within the Yukon Flats, where the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge encompasses the southern portion of the sheet. Numerous lakes, such as Venetie Lake, Jackfish Lake, and the Tetraun Lakes, dominate the geography. Transport through the drainage of Kocacho Creek is facilitated by a Winter Trail, reflecting the seasonal movement patterns necessary in this subarctic environment. A distinctive Pingo is noted in the northern section, indicating the presence of permafrost and the unique geological character of the region.
