2018 Map of Circle A-1 SW

About this map

Salcha River meanders through the central and southern portions of this landscape, marking a significant drainage within the Tanana Valley watershed. This 2018 survey captures the high-altitude terrain where the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area and Fairbanks North Star Borough meet. The area is defined by sharp elevation changes and deep natural drainages, including the headwaters of S Fork Birch Cr in the north and the descent into Little Windy Gulch to the west. While largely devoid of permanent settlements, the map illustrates the complex waterway system feeding the interior, including Cottonwood Cr in the southeast. The survey highlights the remote jurisdictional boundary line between two of Alaska's largest administrative regions, positioned across several township and range divisions.
