2018 Map of Christian D-6 NW

About this map

Wind River carves a meandering path through this interior Alaskan landscape, creating a complex wetland environment of oxbows and unnamed tributaries. The northern reaches of the Yukon-Koyukuk Borough are defined by the sharp transition between these low-lying drainage basins and the high elevations of the Keche Mountains. In the western portion of the quadrangle, Big Ram Lake sits within a concentrated cluster of smaller water bodies, illustrating the glacial and permafrost-influenced hydrology typical of this subarctic region. The topographic detail highlights the prominent peak of Keche Mtn in the east, which rises abruptly from the surrounding river valley. This 2018 survey provides an essential view of a remote wilderness area where natural landforms and water systems remain the primary features of the land.
