2018 Map of Circle A-2 SW

About this map

The Middle Fork Chena River meanders across this interior landscape, marking a vital watercourse in the Tanana Valley watershed. The river's path defines the central topography of this region, which is bifurcated by the administrative boundary between the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area and the Fairbanks North Star Borough. This 2018 survey reveals a territory primarily defined by its hydrology and high-altitude contours, where natural drainage patterns dictate the character of the land. The absence of established roads or buildings emphasizes the wilderness nature of the area, making the water systems and borough lines the primary markers for navigation and land management. Researchers can trace the precise intersection of these regional boundaries as they relate to the surrounding ridges and the river's upper reaches.
