2018 Map of Circle A-3 SW

About this map

The Middle Fork Chena River meanders across the southern half of this landscape, marking a significant hydrologic artery in the interior of Alaska. This 2018 survey captures a remote wilderness area where the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area Fairbanks North Star Borough boundary cuts an east-west line across the high ground. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages feeding into the river system, including Montana Cr, California Cr, and Cash Cr flowing from the north, and Shamrock Cr and Ohio Cr from the south. The absence of roads or structures highlights the pristine nature of this subarctic environment, dominated by topographic contours and the natural flow of these many named creeks. These water bodies serve as the primary landmarks for navigating the high ridges and deep valleys of the Chena River's middle fork watershed.
