Steese National Conservation Area defines the high-altitude landscape of this interior Alaskan quadrangle. The terrain is structured by several significant drainage systems, including the Middle Fork Chena River which carves through the northwestern corner, and the Salcha River appearing in the southeastern reaches. These waterways are fed by smaller, steeply graded tributaries like Big Windy Creek and Little Windy Gulch. The map also documents the administrative boundary for the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area Fairbanks North Star Borough, showing how these two massive regions meet in the subarctic wilderness. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the protected and undeveloped nature of this conservation landscape at the time of the survey.
