2018 Map of Circle B-3 SW

About this map

Birch Creek winds through the southern landscape of this Yukon-Koyukuk region, creating a complex network of wetlands and oxbows at the base of rising uplands. This 2018 survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the Alaskan interior, where numerous tributaries including Annie Cr and the aptly named Great Unknown Cr descend from higher elevations. To the northeast, the terrain is defined by the S Fork Harrison Cr drainage, while Butte Cr and Clums Fork mark the northwestern and southeastern reaches of the quadrangle. The map highlights the vast, unpopulated character of the Alaskan wilderness, showing no permanent settlements or roads, only the natural progression of water through the valley systems of the Arctic Circle region.
