2024 Map of Circle A-1 SE

About this map

The Salcha River meanders through the high-elevation terrain of the interior, marking a landscape defined by significant federal land designations. To the north, the Steese National Conservation Area encompasses the upper reaches of the watershed, while the southeast corner of the map transitions into the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve. This area serves as a critical boundary zone where the Fairbanks North Star Borough meets the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. The drainage network is dense with tributaries including Williams Creek, Willow Creek, and Cottonwood Creek, which carve through the ridges of the Yukon-Tanana Uplands. The mapping of these remote watercourses and township lines like t3n r18e provides essential data for understanding land management and wilderness navigation in one of the state's most protected corridor regions.
