About this map

The Koness River meanders across this northern landscape, defining a wide basin within the Yukon-Koyukuk region. In this 2018 survey, the river is the central geographic feature, carving a path through the wilderness of the t37n r14e and t36n r15e townships. The topography is dominated by dramatic elevation changes, with the river valley flanked by significant high ground to the east and north.

Contributing to the river's drainage system are tributaries like Vanticlese Creek, which flows into the larger valley from the west. The map illustrates a remote Arctic environment shaped by glacial and fluvial processes, where the presence of Vanticlese Cr and other unnamed water bodies suggests a saturated valley floor during the thaw season. This sheet provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns and relief of the eastern Brooks Range foothills before the landscape transitions into the more rugged peaks of the interior.
